Where can I buy a scope rail?  I just need tha piece that fits on the receiver.  Anybody have one they don't need?

Thanks.

How difficult would that be to mount on a rifle that doesn't have one.  I am new to AK-47s, and just looking at that side of my rifle, it seems that I would have to replace those pins in order to put it on?  

Is machining required?

Thanks,

It goes just above the fcg pins, which stay put. It should have relief behind the rail for existing rivets, to allow for a flush and stable fit.
Due to either sloppy work or soft rivets, my 2000 SAR2 shot loose under massive 5.45 recoil. Gave me an excuse to blast/park the whole gun when I had the rail welded solid.
Key is to align it well so the scope is not up/down. I have seen some a full 1/8" off level.

IMO the rail is the only good way to mount a std optic on an AK. The Ultimak is good for red dots, can be had for about $75.

Z28 SS I assume? Miss the burble of the SLP 2 on the left exhaust I put on my 94...

Thanks for the information.  Is there a website that I can read how to do it?  I am not at all familiar with the AK-47 enough to strip it down without some documentation!  Field stripping is as far as I have gone.

As for the SS... ACtually it is my 1996 Impala SS.  I have a pretty well built LT1 in it, drag race it quite a bit.  I know the sound you mean, I have true dual exhaust (all Impala's had that), SLP Cat back, Export pipes (no catalytic converters, just for race!), and full length headers.... I love that sound!

This is specific for tantal's siderail but should be useful for any rail.

Also, I'd suggest this rail for any ak reciever be it stamped or milled.  I used one for my hungarian and had perfect results.
