Lots of things work, depends on your budget really

PA makes good optics and most anything will work on a TWS

RS Regulate makes the best US side mount if you have a side rail installed on the receiver. Most red dots will work flawlessly on the RS and several have dedicated mounts just for them (Aimpoint and MRO for example)

i bought a DDI.
it has the side mount, but I put the TWS rail on top.

Just looking for a less than  $600 Ish optic
2MOA dot.

Used T1s abound in the EE and there are some great deals out there. Shouldn't be hard to pick one up for around $550 from what I am seeing. MRO's are even cheaper

I'm partial to the LT661 low mount for a top cover like the TWS.

If you don't mind spending $450ish I'd get a brand new triji MRO for the price of a used T1.

I was looking at the MRO

I put a Rifle Dynamics Adapter for the M4 stock and B5 stock on it.

wonder if thats a "tall" mount or short?

any idea??

The Primary Arms 3x Prism Scope with the ACSS reticle is amazing. The Holosun HS503G w/ ACSS reticle is also an amazing red dot. Both are tough as nails and cheaper than the MRO. I've personally beaten the snot out of both of the aforementioned optics and couldn't be happier. I don't know much about the MRO other that what I've read. The Vortex Sparc II is another great option. If you don't mind the size, the Aimpoint PRO is a great option as well.

I'd set a few dollars aside as I've read several accounts of the Rifle Dynamics stock mount breaking. I too looked into it. Based upon what I had learned, I bought the Definitive Arms M4 stock adapter. It's built like a tank.

If you don't mind me asking OP, which model of the DDI did you purchase? Is it the new 100% US made or the Hungarian parts kit build?

Honestly I can't tell you which one it is.?
I bought it on sale from AIM surplus.
I bought it for the Green Mountain Barrel.

I haven't even it shot yet...
I'm an AR guy, bought the AK because I wanted to learn more about it.

WE did a drop test sort of on the stock dropped it from about 3-4 feet

The cheap category is the various no-name low cost units.
If you want a name brand mil-spec unit look at Aimpoint , Eotech.
Vortex makes a nice red dot and it has a lifetime warranty that is hard to beat for the cost.

A short mount will give you a good cheek weld. If you buy an MRO with the base mount, try that and see if you like it. If so, then proceed to buy your preferred mount for the MRO.

I'm running a Ultimak rail/gas tube with a Bushnell TRS 25 on a PSAK47. It has approximately 700 rounds with that set up run through it.
Not one problem yet and I can stand and make head hits on a B27 target at 50 yards with every shot.
That rail and red dot cost less than $200.

I run a Holosun with the Primary Arms ACSS reticle in my DDI Hungarian AKM. I use a RS Regulate mount.

Love the T1 Ultimak combo.  I have Aimpoints on ARs in the normal position. Something about having the dot that far out makes it very fast.
