AK-47/74 Adaptive Rail System?AKARS

[leadpersuasion]

Ever seen slow-mo of an AK firing? that dust cover is a wobbly mother fucker, there's no getting around it.

LMAO...sorry that was just funny as hell to me.

[crudos]

I wouldn't trust ANYTHING that "secures" to the dust cover.
There is no way that thing holds a zero, sure it's connected at the rear sight but there is no way that connection at the dust cover is secure. Ever seen slow-mo of an AK firing? that dust cover is a wobbly mother fucker, there's no getting around it.

It's an AK, not a multi-thousand dollar sub-moa sniper rifle, ffs. So what if the dust cover (and everything else on it) wobbles? It's a freakin' AK. Stuff like this is meant to give the firearm a fairly stable mount for a quick acquisition scope or sights. Is it perfect? Probably not, but from what I've seen the engineering, design, and implementation is sound.

Now repeat after me....It's a freakin' AK  It's a freakin' AK  It's a freakin' AK....... [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

It works, It will hold a zero. Its more of a range use mount. Meaning its not as durable. The reason the akrs and this one works is it mounts into the rear sight.

I'd like to see everyone that's talking out of their ass on the dust cover mounted sight state for the record that if offered a free Valmet, Galil, R4, Krinkov....  they would turn down that pos because it has a less than useless cover mounted rear sight [url=http://yoursmiles.org/p-m

There is quite a bit of difference between using a galil's (or R4's) dust cover (ever tried to remove one of those fuckers?) for a rear aperture and using an AKM variant's dust cover to mount an actual optic. And Valmets are about 50/50, some have dust cover rear sights and some have AK style rear sights.

But thanks for telling me im talking out of my ass Columbo.
And the fact that Its an AK its an AK its an AK doesn't change the fact that it's best to have a rail that will hold a fucking zero, that is all.

RS762: Maybe the AKARS system does hold zero? From viewing YouTube video's, it really hard to make substantive decisions on whether the mount holds zero or not. My guess is that this system will work great on some AK's and not so on others, given the wide variance and tolerances of AK builds out there. I didn't mean to come off as a smartass.

It's all good buddy.
All im sayin' is im wary of dust cover optic mounts.
That's it.

Maybe this one is hella-fuckin-balls-to-the-wall-awesome, I don't know, i only suspect that it MIGHT not be.
If anyone has one that works, great, i've just personally never seen one that works.

I was showing some serious lack of tact there,  repeatable results and dependability are what matter. It's either good shit or just plain old shit. 
Since flex came up I'll throw this into the conversation with an added flinch and poor hold thrown in for free.

I got to talk out of my ass, my head is up there most of the time. That doesn't change the mechanics of those designs.

IF you are going to trust your life to it why not get something that is 100%?

Its not just about prepping. If it was I would plan on buying a ar. I dig the ak and I dig this mount.

Parabellum Armament AK Adaptive Rail System (AKARS) Review

[swampfox]

well in my opinion but hey its just me if you have a receaver side mount i would get a Aimpoint T1 Micro AK Mount

RS Products Aimpoint T1 Micro AK Mount

  that's what I'm rocking on my ARSENAL and i love it. it adds little weight with out changing the CG of the rifle. if not i would look

into the Attero Arms AK Micro Optics Mount

How to install the Attero Arms AK Micro Optics Mount

it seams good but i haven't seen any extensive testing on it.

[thatGuy]

Now that is what I am talking about SwampFox! That AimPoint mount looks rock solid.

Texas weapon Systems has the best top cover and fore-rail I've ever seen or used.
Damaged Ind. has a nice fore-rail too though.
