If it didn't flex then you might want to start worrying, because your receiver might be overly hardened during heat treating and likely to crack. The zero has never shifted, and it's always been dead on. Using an NPZ PO4x24-1 on my saiga 308, I've detached and reattached it may times and have put quite a few rounds through it between 100 to 150 yards.
But hell, anything touching a gun affects accuracy, why do you think there's free float forends? The thing isn't being flexed when you're pulling the trigger unless you're pressing on it or resting it very hard against the scope its self while firing. Just my opinion ther are a lot more solid options out there.Įxcuse me, but, do you realize that the receiver of any AK style stamped gun flexes? I could grab the scope and move it side to side and it was flexing the rivets and reciever. Well the reciever metal is thin and just 3 rivets alow the scope to flex side to side to much for my liking. one of those should get ya spot on without question and still cost less than paying an AK builder to do it with the added benifit that you could resell it or keep it for use later if you were ever inclined to start kit building or something If worse comes to worse, alot of AK builder websights sell a template that'll have all the holes marked for a flat to drill the rivets. Harris quick disconect bypod, Ultimak scope mount and cheap but good working red dot. The tree trunk with the hole in it had to go and this was the only stock I could get at the time. As promised a few months ago, now we present for your consideration, Chinas Modified AK rifle model of 1990.or just MAK-90. Proceed with caution, measure twice, drill once and be ready to have it screwed up anyway is my motto ARFCOM After Hours Party (Sept, 4th - Houston, TX) BIG MAK ATTACK post your chinese AKs ( of 15) My Milled MAK-90.
not sure i'd try it with anything shorter than a 16 or 18 inch and surely not with one of the 6 or 8 inch home improvement store specials that can be bought for 4 bucks
Just remember, the longer the level, the truer the read. even that though should be correctable by a shim which is a pretty common fix for ak optic issues do the rails run perfect even with the barrel or have a slight slope to them to accomidate the optic sitting so high and haveing to basicly aim down by 3 inches to intersect the muzzle. all that should be needed then would be a coupla holes drilled, some rivets or round head screws and small nuts with red locktite. then moveing said magnetic level to side of reciever and getting it spot on again, marking you a referance line with a china pen or chalk marker, and useing that mark as your referance point for drilling one should be able to line the side rail up fairly easily with the barrel. I would think by secureing the gun in a vise, and laying a level across the barrel to get it spot on.
