DL's Review of Axion Kobra AK to Weaver Mount, Centered, w/ Long Side Tactical Rail

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 for a reflex sight, not sure yet. Rear bias of the mount with the short upper rail is probably because I've seen this mount under the Kobra collimator unit, so I didn't exactly buy it for its intended purpose.

Pics are worth thousands of words but I don't think I can include them. But if you want a mount solid enough to use as a carry handle and the dimensions work for you, and don't mind Russian agricultural equipment design, I like this as a good choice.
Pros:
  • Inexpensive
  • Sturdy
Cons:
  • Doesn't fit everything
