By drilling it, you have made it almost worthless. Sell it buy a slr100 drill it, and pocket the difference. OR keep it and buy a SAR1 with the rail ~$300.

Ultimately, it's your gun and life is short, so do with it as you want. That being said, I would say if you could swing RotDorn's idea, that would be the best way to do it. Although you may lose some accuract, you maintain the integrity of the Polytech and have a new AK to play with!

Preban Ak prices are largly ridiculus. I agree with Rotdorn. Sell it. Buy a sam7S with the side rail - it will shoot just as good or better, have a sidrail (so you can mount a Kobra) and you'll have lots of money for ammo, mags and maybe even a second AK. More Ak's is generally a good thing.

Don't drill that one. Consider a peep to replace the rear leaf, a gas tube mount (Ultimak) or a rear dust cover mount. The dust cover mounts are so-so if you set the rear screws well, but zero is gone after every removal for cleaning.

Normally I say NEVER sell a gun !
(especially to buy another gun). But if you could sell it and get enough to buy TWO AKs, that would be a Good Thing

You could mount an Ultimak mount on the front without hurting the gun. CB

it's a poly legend!!!!!!
woodsman! spare that tree!!!...er...gunsmithy! spare that legend!!! put down the drill and walk slowly away from the polytech! contact keng's firearms and see if they have one of the old poly "clamp on" (consider it a type of claw mount) scope mounts. www.polytechparts.com/ it's not the best mount, but will actually add value to you fairly rare and highly desirable legend. as others have suggested, simply buy a cheap sar-1 and scope it before you drill your poly. good luck! |

THe UltiMAK gas tube mount does get hot, but with the proper optic, this is not a concern.
However, your optimal red dot solution may be ACE's red dot mount which replaces the rear sight and contains a windage adjustable peep. Millet also makes a scope mount that replaces the rear sight (Though I feel it is inferior to the ACE). Check out the ACE AKSMS at www.riflestocks.com |

Thanks for the learned words, guys. You're the best. I obviously should spare the gun from the drill bit. I'm still stuck on the reality that I paid $265 for the gun originally. Obviously, that old reality doesn't coincide with the current one.
I will not sell the gun. It's just too damned good. Looks like I go with the Ultimak or the gizmo that replaces the rear sight. I was within about 48 hours of doing something stupid and you guys saved the day. SD |

If you ever want to get rid of it for $265, I'll be the first in line!

i have seen AK mounts that are mounted on the trigger pin holes, means no drilling. i think FAC has them.

Putting a scope mount on a legend is like putting wheels on Elvis!

uh...Elvis was known for scooting around town here on his trike!(3 wheeled motorcycle). It was a very common site in the early 70s. |

Best quote about Elvis I have heard (seeing as how we have answered the initial question) from a Memphis cab driver: "He's buried in the backyard, like a hamster." |

oh crap...there are a million of those running around town...
...like what was Elvis' last really big hit? The bathroom floor! I have lived here 40+years and never been to Graceland...no desire to. The night before Elvister (Elvis+Easter, what we call "death week, when all the freaks from out of town show up,) a local bar has what they call the "Dead Elvis Ball" where people show up like Elvi, and Pricillia....in many different forms (mostly drag). There is an "underground society" of workers at Graceland that supposedly after hours have their runabout the place. It is mostly just a joke to most Memphians. |

Phoeey! I just checked Ace's website for the red dot gizmo that replaces the rear sight. They dont' have a picture and are out of stock until September. I don't mind waiting if it's really good merchandise. Anybody got a picture of this installation? How big (minutes) is the dot? What kind of batteries does it use?
If I decide to go with the Ultimak and a Kobra, who should I go to? Thanks again, all. SD |

For the UltiMAK got to www.ultimak.com
For the Kobra, go to Tantal at tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/ My opinion is go with the UltiMAK. I have one and I love it! |

I think Tantal is out of Kobras. Too bad, he seems pretty cool. Get the price list e-mail from him though to be sure.

(of course I am paying for the AR10 tomorrow also-in about 30 years there will be bands of geriatric arfkomers, wandering the countryside heavily armed and with no retirement funds  )
