Gundawg 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I was considering one of the Leapers siderail mount from Cheaper Than Dirt has anyone had any luck with these. Also this may be a stupid question but does one of these count as a US part? Sorry but I'm not real smart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah Jones 2 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) I haven't tried the one you're talking about, but I do have one of the Belarus mounts. It is absolutely rock solid and adjustable. I set mine very tight so that I have to tap it with a rubber mallet to get the lever closed. Here is the link with many different types of mounts that are all good quality... http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=39 Edited February 20, 2008 by Messiah Jones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Contrary to popular belief, you can't just pick your parts for compliance. Scope mounts aren't countable parts. See the 922r Section for clarification Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See the 922r Section for clarification Thanks I'll check those out. As for 922r I will take a closer look I am kind of new to import rifles and as I said I'm just a dumb Hillbilly and not too smart Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr. fudd 0 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Be careful when you order. The mount shown in the picture is for an SVD style rail. SVD mounts often fit on AK rails, but not properly. Kalinka does sell the right mount. Get the AK low mount. Kalinka kind of has a spotty reputation. There's nothing wrong with their products, but they have Russian style customer service. You might try Freedom Optics, Eastwave or Tantal instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gundawg 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I ended up going with the mount from cheaper than dirt. It seems pretty tight, just put it on need to shoot some with it. I like it because it had an extra picatinny rail on the side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah Jones 2 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I had wondered about that one for CTD with the rail on the side. Any pics of the other side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gundawg 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 This is the pic I meant to post first time. Like I said it seems pretty solid I'll shoot it as soon as this rain stops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProgCoder 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 This is the pic I meant to post first time. Like I said it seems pretty solid I'll shoot it as soon as this rain stops. A range report would be great. The original Saiga scope mount pointed high and therefore shot "very" low, it wouldn't even hit paper. I'd like to hear how the UTG mounts work.
