richUK 90 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well the PK-A I ordered from a seller in Belarus has arrived and only took a week!.I have to say the quality is very good, which to be honest I didnt doubt as this is my fourth Russian optic.It came in a cammo pouch with instructions (in Russian unfortunately but no biggy), a ballistics card,a cleaning brush and soft cloth wipe (which they always wrap very nicely in tissue paper) and a 'sun hood' extension tube, all for £112 !!! .With a quick adjustment to the mounting clamp and batteries fitted it was mounted, but zeroing will habe to wait as British Spring has given way to Winter again and its snowing like hell . Heres a few pics to be going on with, let me know what you think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 If this was the rifle with that monstrous scope, then I'd say you got the setup awesome now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate, it was the one with the POSP!. The PK-A suits it sooo much better and it feels very nicely balanced.I have also ditched the single point sling as well as i feel the 2-point to be more practical, especially now it has had 'the silent treatment' with a bit of insulation tape on the attachment points 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dubya 198 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Awesome! I stayed fairly small and light on my 762 as well and put a Leupold Prismatic on it. I really like the illuminated cross hair reticle and its a true 1X scope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I looked at something like that but must admit i do like my Russian optics, just slide them on the siderail, clamp it up and its good to go and holds its zero when removed and refitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 That's probably what I'll get when I get a S545. I'm thinking I want to make a 100 series clone and use a Russian dot. I used the Prismatic because I have a TWS dogleg and my 762 is tacticooled out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The posp has found a new home! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Looks much better on that one IMO. I'm so jealous you can buy Saiga's over there with the 100 series folder already installed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) The Romanian AKM is exactly how I bought it (except for the scope of course),it came to the UK importer direct from the Cugir factory in Romania and he fitted the Soviet AKM laminate furniture,AKM sling and slant muzzle brake and the Izhmash Bakelite mag.Only thing I have added is a genuine Soviet 1000m rear sight with the correct Cyrillic 'battle' setting mark .To be honest I won't use the scope on this as I love shooting it with the ironsights as Mr Kalashnikov intended Edited March 22, 2013 by UKAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dsmtsi23 18 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looks Good. Nice rifle. Any experience with the Pk-01v red dot sight. I really want to pick one up for my rifle. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 you keep showing off the luep, I wants one now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) you keep showing off the luep, I wants one nowI absolutely love it for the AK. If you don't need magnification but want something better than a red dot of whatever brand this is what you want. Etched reticle so it works with or without illumination, the illumination module is removable to save weight or I guess to work on or replace it, the brightness is adjustable, and the mount is basically QD. A lot of the reviews I've seen on it mainly complained about the battery life SUPPOSEDLY being only 16 hours but I've accidentally left it on for over 5 hours at a time three times and used it at least 1 hour a week for ~4 months and its still as bright as it was new. Best of all is Leupold's legendary no questions asked lifetime warranty. Edited April 13, 2013 by dubya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 this is 100% exactly what I've been looking for man thank you, no idea why my post in optic didn't have anything as far as replies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Can anyone recommend a bargain sight with that type of reticle? My next trip to a range will have to be one with the ability for me to shoot from either the prone or sitting. Im getting excited now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
