M59 review - holds zero on remount, very low-profile - Kalinka Optics Patriot Centered Side Mount w/ 108 mm Picatinny Rail

Uncle Zhopa's Review of Kalinka Optics Patriot Centered Side Mount w/ 108 mm Picatinny Rail
I spent a lot of time comparing mounts in the price range, but ended up going with the M59 low-profile model because of how low it sits on an AK. I mounted this to a PSAK-47 Folder, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. The mount sits just a few millimeters above the dust cover, you can even see the iron sights through it clearly. (Keep in mind the model name, like 59 seems to refer to millimeter height of the mount, measured from the middle of your dovetail. So, mine is 59mm tall, while my dust cover is about 54-56mm range, you can measure your gun to make sure it will fit beforehand).
I mounted my red dot to the mount and can STILL see the iron sights through a tiny slot underneath the red dot! The sight sits low and is well centered, no complaints there. So far, I have put about 150 rounds through the gun with the mount on and no issues. For the last 50 rounds, I would even take off the mount/put it on every ten rounds just to see if the zero shifted, but I have not seen any of that.
Overall, a solid mount made in Belarus (and pretty sure it's made in the BelOMO factory), which will get your optics mounted to a stable platform without spending a ton of money.
