Side Scope mount on a WASR

[littletommy]

I've been wanting to put a red dot on my WASR, and it has the side mounting bracket. I really don't want to remove the front hand guard and put rails on it, so I'm thinking using the scope mount bracket is my best option. My question is, would something like this(link below) be the only thing I'd have to buy, aside from the red dot itself?

Yep, that is what you are looking for. There might be others around, but that price from Centerfire will be hard to beat. Like you said, get that and all you need is the red dot.

That is all that is necessary... but I would urge you to look at other side mounting options for the AK.

What type of red dot are you planning on mounting? For something like an aimpoint m3 or similar, I would highly suggest the Kalinka PK-01V v3.0. It will hold a red dot that uses a 30mm ring. As a bonus, it also co-witnesses... which is something of a rarity for side mounts.

+1

A big +1 on the above post, Yup that chunk of metal on the side of your rifle is for optics and optic mounts. Keep your hand guard is for your hands.
Might I suggest you check this out, it mounts proper and solid. Im thinking about selling my original BP-02 for the BP-01/mtk-83 which sits slightly higher so you can also use the iron sights.

I'm wanting something similar to this

I'm kinda using this rifle as a test bed to see what I like the most.

Looks like I may be ticking the wife off more than I planned.
