What you see below is my 2005 M92 Yugo Krinkov. I had an idea, place a rail on top of the thick portion of the receiver for a optics mount. I cut a piece of plastic rail (I am either going to use aluminum or steel), to see if it will fit on top. And it does, but how am I going to mount it? If I could get a rail made of steel, I was going to spot weld it, using light taps with the welder of course, not to get it to hot (warping). But the steel rails costs a butt-load, and the aluminum rails are cheap and around every corner. How could I mount this on top securely? Can I rivet it? If I rivet it, is there going to be enough room for the carrier to work? Do you think I could smash and grind the rivets enough for there wont be any clearance issues? All of you guys' advice will be greatly absorbed. here is the pic............... sorry if it is too big for you   |
| Put a side rail on the receiver if you want an optic. Epoxying that rail will not work. It'll break loose from recoil eventually and leave behind the glue. Then you'll have to scrape it off the metal. I know epoxy can be very strong (such as the situation at hand), but it ain't that strong when you factor in recoil and weight of an optic. |

This thing looked interesting to me once, I don't know how reliable it is, but it looks like it would work pretty good.... www.floridagunworks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FG&Product_Code=882&Category_Code=AKA+AK+MOUNTS Good-Luck.

Dunno about the mount, but I do know that if you're going to buy anything, DO NOT BUY FROM FLORIDA GUN WORKS. I've not heard one good thing about them. |
Thanks for the heads up, I was thinking about getting some misc. bullshit from them, but now I'll keep shopping.  Probably at the next gunshow!
