Rear rail mount for AK

[45pro]

Looking to add a rail to the rear of my AK for a RDS. I need something like a beryl style rail mount except i cannot use one like that because of the folding stock. I also dont think i can use a side mounted one because my stock wont lock in the folded position then. What i need is some kind of rail that mounts to the rear sight post for stability and goes along the dust cover and somehow attaches securely to the rear of the ak....I know i'm asking for a lot but help me out guys....

Exactly but how do you keep the rear from shifting during firing? Or is it tight enought that it doesn't cause an issue?

I just bought a side mount off ebay not sure how you folding stock works does it fold tight up against the mounting rail?

Yes it locks within a 1/4" of the side of the gun. I think it will be in the way and not let the stock lock closed.

I personally haven't used one yet, though it is on my ever expanding list. Gabe is fairly impressed with it so far, but I haven't seen an in depth test from him yet. AFAIK, they just became available. Maybe we can get full-auto to do a review on one.

Du'oh, I don't know how I could have forgot that, it is my favorite AK of Gabe's that he used for that test. Thanks.

When i have time i'll PM him and see what he can do. Until it is proven i think i'll just spend my cash on some more reloading supplies. But i am keeping my eye on it.

That looks really cool. LaRue made a mount called the Iron Dot for a while, that took the place of the rear sight, but discontinued it. I'm kicking myself for not having bought one while they were available.
