Reviews & Ratings for Axion Kobra AK to Weaver Mount, Centered, w/ Long Side Tactical Rail — 2 reviews — Page 1

Bought this to fit to my Saiga 308-1 unconverted as a mount for a conventional optic, for the record my new NPZ PO4x24-1-01 with the Saiga base is perfect but I wanted an alternative. This mount is well made and solid, upper rail is screwed with red thread locker and pinned, clamping mechanism is steel and adjusts snug to the Saiga's plate just fine. Rustoleum flat black is a good match to cover up the eventual paint chips the mount will receive. Upper rail is 140mm / 5.5" long which can work but I've purchased a longer rail section to transplant so I can get more flexible eye relief adjustment. IF the clamp ever breaks I believe a Zenit should work, which is good my Belomo POSP clamp crumbled apart and it was awhile before I found a replacement.

Now the (sort of) cons. On my Saiga the rail is NOT centered, sits about 4mm left of centerline, not a big deal IMO, PO's and POSP's sit left even farther on my AK's. There are bosses cast into the mount for the screws that will allow a little sideways movement to drill new holes but it looks like not enough to make a real difference.

The clamp adjust tight to the base on my Saiga 308 and the Russian base I put on my MAK-90. It will NOT adjust to the base on my SDS LH-12 Lynx which uses a "Bulgarian type" base, wouldn't use it there anyway but there's the info. I don't what fits that one yet.

The mount does NOT allow a view of the rear iron sight either above or below, on my Saiga. That feature may relegate this mount to my MAK-90...

I got this item a while ago and just recently finally got the thing mounted on my M72B1 RPK. We ended up mounting it on a AK Master Mount and they are a little thicker so it is off centered for my rifle by a centimeter or two. When we initially mounted it there was play but all we needed was to tighten a screw and the thing doesn't even budge anymore. The length of the weaver rail offers a the ability ot mount a wide variety of possible scopes.
