AK owners, I need some suggestions. The iron sights on AK's are known to be terrible. What optics do you use, and where did you get it? I've been looking at some POSP and PKA scopes for authenticity, but I would like some outside opinions.
I'm interested in low end magnification, but I'm also leaning towards no magnification red dot type optics. I just can't decide.
I'm torn
>>30015138
get a ghost ring to improve the irons and then go from there
>>30015257
Any specific brand to look for/avoid? If something that simple fixes it, I'd be happy.

I love the AK iron sights. Traditional AR irons suck ass. Then again I learned to shoot with a nugget so I'm bias. Just make sure to get a jail mount if you're doing AK optics. Rail optics are shit on AK.
>>30015059
Don't blame the sights. They're just as good as any iron sights I've ever shot. I did my time, going every other weekend for a few months and I can hit just about anything I can still see at pretty fair distance. Just practicseparate.
In fact, learn the irons before you get a scope. This will be a good exercise for you in trying things yourself to form your own opinions, a very important habit to form.

AK irons are great for quick acquisition and a much better combat sight for close quarters. Having open sights is optimal for close encounters.
That said, I use a MI 30mm AK Red Dot mount, I like the side rail because it's quick detach and balances well. It's excellent in construction, holds zero fine and standard 30mm red dots allow you to co-witness your irons in the lower 1/3rd.
Some people like mounting red dots scout-style on an Ultimak gas tube, adds a lot of weight forward but its a convenient answer to adding a dot sight and a light.
If you get the 30mm scope mount by Midwest you get the same quality with lower third cowitness if you run a 1x scope. That's probably your best option if you want the best of all scenarios, a 1-4x or 1-6x scope will give you essentially a red dot up close, a little more magnification for a stretched out shot, cowitness at 1x zoom and quick detach.

I have the circle 10 U-notch
Krebs makes the best one, and it goes down from there. I have the circle 10 U-notch
The cheaper one might not have range adjustment markings on them but thats a matter of preference. As long as its made of good metal its should be fine.

Whoops meant to reply here
A used COMP M4 usually goes for $350
Plus a RS mount.
A aimpoint T1 or H1 on a ultimak rail is another good option.
>>30015413
Oh, I'm not new to the irons, I've had my WASR for about 4 years now. The sights work, but any blade sights make it more difficult to aim, especially low contrast situations. It's just time for an upgrade.
>>30015446
Thanks, I'm shopping around now.
>>30015435
>>30015487
thanks. Worth checking out.
>>30015487
you talking about police trade in M4s?
>>30015634
Ebay, but make sure its a reputable seller.
Aimpoints don't have as many fakes as eotech but their still out there.
If its beat to shit that's a good sign.

Do you not know what the word "an" is?

Thanks.

I have one and I love it
Posting the same pic I do every thread

>>30015866
Where did you get yours and how much? Seems like the only places that sell them are websites that look like a 12 year old made them and look shady as hell.
>>30015059
pk-as, its ok and it doesn't look like shit on an ak platform, whatever you do, don't put western optics on it
>>30015889
the obzor is pretty sick but it takes time if you have been always shooting lining up iron sights.i have also used the t1 with rs mount which is the other end cause it co witnesses.i like being able to check my red dot zero againt the irons.
>>30015889
that optic is awesome

No they aren't
git gud or buy an ar15 pussy

Excuse me for liking objectively better things
>>30015059

Maybe you should spend more time with them rather than reading what AR15 faggotrons will tell you about them.
>>30015889
>whatever you do, don't put western optics on it
How do you describe a phenomena like this? It's like a double reverse 360 fuddism. I see this all the time among "ak guys". It's one thing to have/use eastern optics as an appreciation for eastern hardware, collecting, """"authenticity""", etc. It's another to actually suggest it as a serious alternative when Russians themselves almost exclusively use EOTechs given the money and wiggle room to do so.
OP if you want to buy into the "EOKek is shit meme" just get an aimpoint like
>>30015487
>>30015435
That midwest mount is also bretty good.
>>30015464
They're nonexistent right now. I haven't seen anyone care one in months. I've kept my eye out, can't find them.
That said, does anyone have experience with the Hi-Lux CMR AK762? Looking to pick one up and heard mixed reviews on quality control.
PA Advanced Micro Dot + RS Regulate mount. It's light, tough, best battery life, and it isn't terribly expensive.
>>30017785
Seconding this.
where can i get this stock???
>>30018127
The toilet store
>>30015888
Not sure if you are still here, but I bought mine at rrcfireams.com
>>30018127
It's Zentico, just google zentico
I have one of those charging handle knobs and it's quite nice
>>30018236
4X24 Simonov reticle not in stock. Actually there are no x24s in stock. Not surprised.
Kalinka optics might have a x2 or x4 red dot, don't remember off the top of my head. I want some of the bargain bin optics because they discount nearly $100 sometimes for something like the highest brightness is a little too low, or something
>>30016751
i just really hate the way they look, its an aesthetics thing
>>30018241
do they actually help at all with giving you more grip? or are they just a waste of money? i like the way they look, and might put one on mine but not if it actually doesn't do anything other than look neat. what brand do you have? Pics?
Does anyone know of a good side mounted scope red dot that would fit a N-Pap. Something like the Kobra or pk-as
I'm guessing that since there isn't one up yet this will act as a AKG thread for the time being? Good. Have a question about muzzle breaks. The break shown in pic related, is labeled as a "vityaz style" muzzle break. I like the look of it, but despite googling and youtubing to find reviews and videos demonstrating it, I have found nothing. Have any of you had any experience with it? Wanted to know if it would be worth buying or not. Thanks in advance.
Pk-01v red dot on my arsenal 74. Uses a side mount so it keeps some of its aesthetics

>They're just as good as any iron sights I've ever shot.
Ak irons, just like every feature on defended by delusional "RIFLE IS FINE" autists pales in comparison to AR15 pattern.
AK is just flat out inferior.
It's fine and fun and good looking rifle which is more important to a civvie user, but if you get into a gun battle with an RIFLE IS FINE vs an AR15 which has been configured for a gunfight, you are at an SERIOUS disadvantage.
At range or plinking, it doesn't matter but claiming that AK is objectively as user friendly and good to use as an AR is just a batshit stupid belief held by dumb vatniks

Nobody is using a PO3.5x21P?
They are good scopes and have a lot of nice features. Never saw widespread use, but still a nifty thing. Only bad part is the weight and the fact that shooting with one can be uncomfortable.
>>30019578
I have the one in the picture
It helps with grip a bit but I mostly bought it because the charging handle had some sharp edges on it and I actually sliced my hand open operating it once.
Also, it looks cool
