EOTechs tend to be a little less indestructible than Aimpoints. People have literally cooked EOTechs to death by mounting them on Ultimaks. If you want to run the holosight then get a sidemount or a topcover tail. Midwest Industries or Texas Weapons Systems.
As for mags, steel, steel, and steel. Whatacountry has tons of 30-round steel mags in stock, they're all you'll need. |

Why do you prefer steel mags over the polymer choices for this platform? |

Why do you prefer steel mags over the polymer choices for this platform? Promags and Tapcos break a hell of a lot easier, that's why. Get steel surplus mags. Good luck trying to break those. |

Quoted:
For the light, I would choose the tri-rail from DBMG and I would put the Eotech on a MI Rail and be done with it. The Eotech will sit quite high on an AK since it was designed to co-witness on an AR. No way around that. I was looking at the MI mount earlier and I think that'll work. I like the compactness of the Tri-Rail, thanks for the recommendation. Load carriage? Strike Hard Gear, Beez, or 7.62? |

Why do you prefer steel mags over the polymer choices for this platform? The Bulgarian polymer magazines are good, but they cost about 2.5 or 3 times what a surplus steel magazine costs. There's no way the polymer magazine can be "3 times better" than the steel magazine so the polymers are not cost effective. |

Quoted: Quoted: Load carriage? Strike Hard Gear, Beez, or 7.62? Everyone has their brand, mine is OSOE. Outstanding quality. I purchased my OSOE AK Micro Rig direct from OSOE, but got the H-harness for it from AGS. I don't have a dog in this fight but some interesting reading here about OSOE : http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_109/929579_John_Willis__OSOE.html |

I purchased a LBV from him shortly before he opened his OSOE shop and received my order within the length of time he specified. However, if I buy anymore of his gear it'll be through a different vendor. |

I like the MI extended rail, but I run it with an Aimpoint Micro in the optic specific top cover, but it I were to mount an Eotech I would definitely go with the TWS dogleg. It's a little expensive, but its the only way I would go with that optic because they are really meant for an AR. +1 on the steel mags as well. The only polymer mags I really like is the US palm Mags. I only have one because I got it from a buddy which is good becasue I would never pay $30 for a magazine. In the end of the day though they are still plastic. TAPCO poly's are a good range mag, but if SHTF they would stay in my safe and my steel mags would be coming with me. good luck with your choice though.
