Will the UltiMAK Optics Mount fit my rifle?
The UltiMAK Optics Mount has been engineered for compatibility with a wide range of AK-47 rifle variations. If you have a 7.62 x 39 caliber AK with standard weight barrel and a standard length, removable gas tube (roughly seven inches, or 17.7 centimeters overall gas tube length) the Mount should fit nicely. We have yet to find a rifle of the above description that our mount does not fit, providing that the rifle is assembled reasonably straight. Some AKs have radically misaligned gas blocks as compared to the rear sight block. In rare cases, this can cause problems installing the UltiMAK Mount.
Also fits Romanian 5.45 x 39 and .223 (5.56 NATO) caliber AKs using barrel shims available from UltiMAK (Romanian 7.62 x 39 AKs usually sold as the SAR-1 do not need the shims). Chinese AKs in either .223 or 7.62 x 39 do not require shims. We have customers using our style 2 Mount (M2-B) on their Chinese "RPK"s. The Russian, RPK based VEPR II rifles in all calibers have a heavier barrel, like an RPK should, and all are equally compatible with our VEPR II Mount (M3-B). The M3-B is designed specifically for these heavy barrel guns.
All UltiMAK AK mounts are designed to be slightly shorter than the original gas tube. This helps in two significant ways. 1. It ensures a fit on practically any AK without custom fitting, which would require cutting through the hard anodizing-- a nasty process that will ruin all but the best carbide tools. 2. More importantly, the shorter tube can be mounted so it does not press against the rear sight block or the gas block. In this way, the mount is not jammed against any part of the barrel assembly at either end, and the barrel can expand and contract with temperature changes without changing point of aim. Several customers have indicated an improvement in accuracy after installing UltiMAK mounts on their rifles.
