Red dot AK combo

I am thinking about mounting a Doctor Optic type site to an AK47 by replacing the rear site with a weaver rail and attaching the site to the rail. Does anyone have any experience with Samson Mfg?

I think the LaRue is a much better set-up.

Weaver actually made a mount like this several years ago. The problem was it only used the hole for the ordinal site and a set screw that put pressure on the gas block and was not real stable.

You might want to look at one of the newer replacements for the forearm.

I have a UTG unit that replaces both parts of the fore grip, but not the gas tube,,,

And a Ultimak that replaces the upper guard and gas tube.. This one allows co-witnessing of the stock sight.

Both work well,, but you still need cooking mittens,, AK's get hot...

Might also save you some money as I paid about 1/2 the price of the Samson model.

PS: ++1 LaRue,, they make great gear..

Rgr Ill check out the La Rue and the ultimak.

I've got the Ultimak. It's OK but I'm eventually getting the LaRue. MOO - I think it's a much better solution given the characteristics and uses of the AK.
