Reviews & Ratings for Midwest Industries Gen 2 AK Rear Bias Side Mount — 2 reviews — Page 1

I don't know how Midwest screwed this up. My lower mount wouldn't work because the manufactured the tension nut incorrectly and it wasn't threaded all the way though. They sent me a new one. That's when I realized that the mount had no left or right adjustability to it. The 2 screws that you loosen to allow for adjustability have a slot cut for the head of the screws, but not the body of the screws, so at most these mounts have like 10 thousandths of left to right movement. I emailed Midwest and the guy told me the hopes should be "oval" shaped. Mine were perfectly round. I showed them pictures of the mount and he was like, "don't lose sleep over it man, it'll be fine" I told them that was disappointing customer service and they lost my business, so they mailed me another mount (different from the one I had) and it had THE SAME ISSUE.
I don't typically say this, as I'm not trying to brag, but I'm a mechanical engineer of 5 years. I worked on automated machines, and adjustability is everywhere. So how in the world they managed to design and manufacture a mount that has everything needed for adjustability, including a slot for the head of the screws, to only drill a hole on the bottom for the body of the screw, meaning there is no left or right adjustability, is literally baffling. Someone at Midwest screwed the pooch big time.

This product has worked flawlessly so far. I only have two qualms. First, the lever feels cheap and not quite as sturdy as the rest. Second, there is enough variety in size. This was the only one that would fit on my krinkov.
