The UltiMAK M11-S provides the answer to forward mounting a high-speed optic over the gas tube on these handy shotguns, which do not have removable gas tubes like other AKs. This unit replaces the fixed bead with a solid, recoil-lugged Picatinny style rail that screws to the gun at the gas block and the rear of the gas tube with no drilling or tapping. It works with any IER ("Scout") scope or any high-end reflex or holographic sight. It has survived our most punishing tests, using the heaviest 3" magnum 12 gauge loads-- if your gun can handle it, the UltiMAK mount can handle it.
Fast-response shooting, such as wing shooting or self defense against moving targets, is greatly facilitated by the addition of a forward mounted, 1x optic.
The Saiga 12 at right takes a break after a long day of testing at the range. We went through several prototypes before settling on this final, production mount. On that day we used the Trijicon RX06 reflex sight, which performed beautifully.
We discovered that's it a lot of fun to hand throw an empty 12 gauge shell into the air and see how many times you can hit it before it either drops to the ground or flies out of range. Hand throwing stacks of your own clay targets is a good challenge too, plus it makes for a great aerobic workout.
