Ive been looking around for a decent low profile AK side mount and red dot. What do you use?
The RS Regulate mount seems pretty good. Hopefully they can restock their upper mounts soon. Ive already shelled out the money on an Aimpoint t2 and an MRO so probably will go budget on this one. Im new to the world of accessorizing AK's, always just shot them as they were but my eyes have gotten worse and I love shooting my AR's with the red dots. You have pointed me in the right direction, thanks!RS Regulate. It's a two piece mounting system with all kinds of options. I use a 301 lower with an AKML (Aimpoint Micro) upper mount. Absolutely rock solid. Master Mount is another good one. I don't use it but I know people that do and it's a solid option.
As for the red dot - budget options like Holosun or Primary Arms are really good sights, or you could bump your budget and get an Aimpoint or Trijicon. RS Regulate makes direct optic mounts for pretty much whatever you could want.
Ive looked at the Bushnells some but never knew anyone who uses one. Its good to hear your feedback on them. Checking them out. Thanks!I don't have a side mount on my AK, but if you are looking for other options, you get the Ultimak gas tube. It is a little pricey, but I love mine. Makes it like a scout set up. Super solid and fairly easy to install. For a red dot, I have a Bushnell TRS-25 that I fucking love. I have had it on my rifle for about 10 years, I have only zeroed once, its on its second battery, and it is definitely not a safe queen. I take it to range any chance I get and I have put thousands of rounds down the barrel.

Is there any reason not to get the full size 303? Im putting it on a sam7sf. Maybe a bit less weight if I get the 301 since the rifle is already pretty heavy. Doubt id ever want to put a magnifier on it anyways.
Nice, I hadn't even looked elsewhere for the upper yet. I'm definitely going with this mount after reading a little about them. Just what I was looking for.No reason not to other than aesthetics, IMO. The weight is negligible, especially if you're putting it on a milled gun. If you already have Aimpoint micro pattern sights, I found the AKML upper on Amazon just now.
Yes I have ordered.Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up ordering the RS regulate mount and a Holosun HS503CU. Have any of you ordered from opticsplanet.com before?
I've got one and ran it on couple ars before it found a home on a 22inch 500 s&w handi . Its held up so far.Ive looked at the Bushnells some but never knew anyone who uses one. Its good to hear your feedback on them. Checking them out. Thanks!
