Hi Guys:
I have been playing around with these I.O. AK47's. So I decided to try and pretty them up a bit. The main problem with the AK's is that you coud never mount a optical sight without putting on a side mount. That back dust cover is so thin and never had a good setup because you have to remove it to clean the rifle. There are about three or four NEW systems in the marketplace at the present time. Here is one that I find to be a GREAT PRODUCT. It is the Dog Leg Pic System from TWS. This is a SOLID ALUMINUM back cover with the rail built in. I ordered one for evaluation and it passed with flying colors. It hooks into the rear sight of standard AK models. So I will be a dealer for this product in PA.
Just a FYI on this particular rifle. I changed the stock, forearm and pistol grip to Dark Earth colors. I then drilled and added mini forearm 2 in tac rails in BLACK to the forearm. I also added a Palm Dark Earth 30 round capacity magazine. I am a fan of the CCA five way pistol grips so I added one to this setup. I kept it in BLACK for contrast. Then I added the new TWS Dog leg pic rail setup. It also comes with a custom made rear sight by TWS, see attached. This setup keeps your line of sight very low on the rifle. It retains zero time after time.
Let me know what you think?
