Let's talk rails for the AK47

[7.62x39(4)life]

I am not sure if a ultimak mount will fit a saiga, that is unless is has an ak-47 style front handguards... make sure it fits a saiga before you order.

Both Optics would be fine choices (i have shot both)
Tritium is nice because you don't have to turn it on and off.
The battery life of a t-1 micro is 5 years of continous use 24/7, so that is of litttle concern. I know I don't want to be changing batteries when the SHTF


I am not sure you want to be spending 500$ for an optic and 100$ for a mount

I saw an ultimak mount for 88$ +free shipping online the other day... from some company I had never heard of. (google shopping search)

My Saiga has been converted so it does take standard AK mags as well as having standard AK style fore end so it should work.

I don't want to spend $500 for T1, $100 for a mount and then another $? for the mount to mount the T1 to the mount... if that all makes sense. Don't you have to have a mount for the T1 to actually mount it to a mount?

I too say that place that had the UltiMAK for $88 shipped and there were two places matter of fact that had them for the same price. So that's doable and really not that bad considering. I just hope I don't decide after I order that I wanted a stubby VFG or weapon light attached to it but as of now I'm thinking the Trijicon will be where I call it good... if I go with an optic at all. I'm tempted to just run irons on it too and that's why I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet. The more I think about it the more I think irons is the way to go on my AK47.
