SergeK 15 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Last week I decided to get some optics going on my Romanian 5.56 WASR3. I mounted my Russian PK-01 on it when I went for Carbine Drills last week just to make sure the rifle ran how I wanted. It ran great. Only one Failure To Feed due to shitty magazines. So I began to do some research and decided to go with a Primary Arms Micro Dot. It is only $90 plus $11ish for shipping. Can't really beat the price. It is basically an Aimpoint H1/T1 Clone, and for the price, I was willing to risk it. The Optic itself feels very solid. It has a nice heft to it. The glass is coated very well (from what I know about coating, which is nothing). When looking through the optic, it turns everything a bluish green hue, same as my Russian optics... There must be a reason for this. The brightness knob is really stiff. So stiff I thought it was broken at first. Takes a bit of work to turn the thing. As you can see, I have a PSO-1 mounted on the Side Rail. I found out a few nights ago, that an SVD/PSL style optic WILL mount to an AK style mount. I wanted to see if I could still use the scope with the Aimpo...Primary Arms mounted and vice versa. To my joy, the Scope does work with the Micro Dot mounted. Not the other way around, however. This is the Midwest Industries Rail that came with my Romy AK. As you can see, it is specifically made for this optic (aimpoint). Optic Mounted on the top rail. Both optics mounted. View down the sight line. So far I am very happy with the purchase. I tacticooled around the house a bit with it to see how it felt and such and I must say, I like it a little more than my Russian setup so far. Field of View is much smaller, but the dot is crisper. I also feel it will be slightly easier to aim with on the move since it is closer to the muzzle, but this remains to be seen. Tomorrow I am going to zero it in, as well as zero in the PSO-1 4x Scope and recheck the zero's on my PSL and Saiga 5.45 As of now, Two Thumbs way up Edited October 12, 2011 by SergeK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SergeK 15 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Same difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have a couple PA micro dots. They are pretty darn good for the money. I also got one of their prismatic 3x AR scopes. Pretty nice setup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bohound 281 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Got my gen 7 PA micro (on an UlitmAK M2-) about six months or so- had it out in the pouring rain, the hot sun, the dirt, sand... Everything. It is still on it's original battery, so battery life is awesome as well, although probably not on par with the aimpoint. Just painted mine too, works great still! Just left the bikini cover on and taped off the ring on the intensity settings. Also left the windage and elevation covers on, and taped off the vent holes near the gas block (for I don't know now what reason). Two coats. I need to either find an appropriate ring to make my own, or see if PA will sell the applicable killflash for this unit. I noticed you don't have one either. You're going to want one- the coating really flashes something wicked. I'm also going to try "skateboard tape" on the flat sides of the UltimAK unit... Saw somebody else using it as a rudimentary heat guard/index point. Edited October 12, 2011 by bohound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SergeK 15 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 PA Makes a killflash for it. Didnt really think I needed it. I may pick it up though eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I knew they made one, but it's sold as part of a package... I don't know if it's available as an accessory? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SergeK 15 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Got it Zero'd this afternoon. VERY happy and impressed with it. Even some AR guys a few lanes down with Aimpoints said they are going to pick some up. My one gripe, and a minor one at that, is I wish the zeroing screws were finger adjustable. You need a screw driver/penny or somesuch to adjust, which can be a PITA if you want to look down the sight and adjust at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
