So I have an AK47, and I want to mount a red dot on it. Most likely an Aimpoint PRO. I have the following requirements:
1) I want it mounted forward of the rear sight.
2) I want it to co-witness with the iron sights.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this setup? My research tells me there are really only 2 options, the Ultimak or the Troy Industries gas tube replacement rail. I'm not sure the Troy part will allow co-witness, but it appears that the Ultimak will.
Is anyone using an Ultimak? What do you think of it? How does it compare to the Troy part? I'm told heat may be a problem, can anyone offer any experience/advice?
Are there any other options that will allow co-witnessing irons with a red dot that I missed?
Thanks,
Cuz
