Post; gettin me an Ak-47


Well guys, I will soon be buying an AK-47. I will not have a scope on it to start with, but will probably get a receiver with one later. I got to play with another guys AK a couple days ago and really liked it. I am good friends with one of the guys that runs the gun range I go too, so it wont be too expensive. I cant wait to get it. I should be buying it in the next month or two. I will post some pictures of it when I do. I just got a used homemade gun case today. it's pretty ugly, but it serves the trick.

Only piece of glass I would mount on a AK rifle is a Eotech. Congrats and post pictures.

It's not a scope. It's a reflex sight.

Hmm... well I haven't got that problem so I can't say for sure. You can try a "cheap" test by doing the following:
Get a transparency. Put a red dot and circle on it with a suitable red marker or green marker depending on which color you'll use.
Tape it to the weapon and see if your old man can see the dot and the target together.
Then you'll have your answer.
I think. :P

Not problem. As long as he can place a blur on target and it's sighted in. He will shot straight and true. Unless of course your rifle is frakked up.

What do you guys think of this red dot sight for AK-pattern weapons?

When I get my Saiga-12 I'm thinking of putting one of these on it.

You're screwed. The Saiga-12 does not have the Soviet style side mount for scopes.

EoTech or Aim Point in my opinion. Nothing else.....
