Cain Marko 10 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Fitting a POSP Scope to an AK rail?? I have a POSP scope I'd like to use BUT my AK has a standard AK rail. Does anyone know if this can be done? Does anyone make an adapter or anything like that?? Do I need to get a POSP rail and if I do will the holes on the receiver from the AK rail create any problems? Thanks for your help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mccumber1916 1 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Heres a pic of what they look like oh... a kalinka... i think it should go same base as my mount...but mine has a wall on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cain Marko 10 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 The rail on my AK is too wide to fit the scope mount. I could probably make it work with a rubber mallet, but I don't want to beat my scope to death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,189 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Will your POSP slide on the rail from the front to the back? If it will do that, it is an SVD mount and will not ever properly work on an AK style rail... the recoil forces will continuously work it loose. if it fits on NEITHER way... Something is amiss...

TheGunHustler 3 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Your scope should have an adjusting nut on the bottom fot the leaver. Look at the bottom of you scope mount and you will see a nut and what looks like a wedge that ataches to the mount on the gun to lock it down. you can adjust the nut to make it fit. push the wedge down. ( it is on a spring) and trun the nut with a small screw driver. i may take a few tries to get it right. I did it on the one i have and it works great! pm me if you need any more help. It will work!

Cain Marko 10 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here is my scope with an identical mount. the other pic shows about how far I can get it on the mount without a rubber mallet. Even if I drop the retaining screw all the way out, Still tight. would this fix my problem?? http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=213 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,189 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 No.... the bottom one is the SVD mount... and will not work on a standard AK style mount... as mentioned above... Is there a bend or a burr on the mount that is causing it to be so tight?!?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 If it's that tight even with the adjustment all the way out then you should be able to just file away some of the alluminum on the mount where it's binding. Use a small triangular or blade type file. Also make sure you don't have a glob of paint or something on your siderail that's keeping it from going on. Then you know there's always lube That stuff works wonders around tight places... Mc C that's a great idea about a glossary. Let me know if you need any help. Just post a thread with all the acronyms you can think of and let people add to it whether they know the definitons or not. Not only just gun abbreviations and stuff but all those other ones people use when typing in forums like FWIW and YYMV or whatever it is....I'm sure all that stuff is available on wickipedia or something. We should maybe have two different ones, one just being gun words like FCG and GB for instance. I'll sticky it in the welcome section for you. Hey Juggs maybe that thing doesn't like your rifle! Send it to me and maybe it will like mine better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really just wanted an excuse to throw AGNTSA into the mess of acronym's that were flying around. been using 44rdv4rk for many years... i don't remember where i first used it, but i do remember that aardvark was already taken. I've since seen many different aardvarks on many boards, but AFAIK I've been the only 44rdv4rk, so i've stuck with it. lol... very creative...that nickname can get you in some lady trouble though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
