Hey ya'll, I have a PSAK-47. I got the forged carrier in it now and I think am going to keep the rifle. I want try and use red dot and I already own. It is PA Advanced Red Dot full size. 50k battery life etc. I have had this thing since it came out new in 2014. It is still running great. I now have a Burris XTR II on my AR and would like to try and use this RDS on my AK. Have any of you ever run a Comp M4 type RDS your rifles? Which mount should I go with? Or should I just try and sell/trade it for a microdot?

Are you planning to mount it over the gas tube or use a side mount?
IMHO that's too big n heavy for mounting over the gas tube. For side mounts Midwest Ind. or RS Regulate are the best options. My preference is a TRS-25 red dot over the gas tube. If you want to co-witness you'll have to go with a railed gas tube like the Ultimak, butt here are other versions of this available. Or replace your hand guards with something like the Hogue or CAA ones that have a rail on the upper guard. That will block your irons with an optic mounted. Or go with a quad rail, but unless that setup includes a railed gas tube (I think Troy does) it won't co-witness. Other options are replacing the rear site with a short pic rail, just enough space for a micro red dot. Or the TNW dogleg setup which gives you a full rail from the rear site to the back of the cover. |

I've been looking at the PA micro's to go on my psak47 with either an MI mount or rs regulate 301 w/ the micro attachment. AKOU has pretty good deals on their bundle packages for everything you need (not sure if they're in stock at the moment)- will be interested to see what you go with! Keep us posted
edit: just saw on akfiles you're going with the goat fucker set up- be sure to post pics over here, I'm seriously leaning that way |
