It repeats zero well enough that this is a non-issue for cleaning/maintenance but does add another step to certain types of malfunction clearances that may require removing the dust cover. Mounting the optic to the rear ON MY PARTICULAR RIFLE does not allow the dust cover to be removed with the mount in place. This configuration works well for me with one caveat. The AK-302 is RS Regulate’s “rear-biased” mount that allows the optic to be place further to the rear of the receiver. That is why I chose the AK-302 lower mount for use with my DDI Zhukov. I have been trying mounting Aimpoint Micros closer to the eye in order to acquire the dot sooner and more easily from awkward positions (there may be an article on this later). In some configurations, the dust cover can still be removed for cleaning with the mount installed. The mounts sit low enough to allow a 1/3 co-witness when used with most red dot sights. Once the user is happy with how the optic is centered, they can choose to pin the upper and lower mounts together with supplied pins. The optic mounting location can be adjusted forward/back and side-t0-side to center the optic over the bore. The locking lever is adjustable without tools and installs easily.

This review will utilize the AKML upper mount to mount an Aimpoint Micro (R1).īoth the upper and lower components of the AK-300 series mounts are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and are hard anodized for durability.

The upper mounts are available to interface with a variety of optics. There are also other lower mounts available for other rifles like the VZ.58, Yugos, PSLs, and more.

The AK-303 is the same as above but with a full length rail that allows for a variety of placement or for use with longer optics. The AK-302 (the subject of this review) fits most AKM rifles with side rails and allows the optic to be placed more to the rear of the rifle. The AK-301 (the most common lower mount) fits most AKM rifles with side rails and allows optics to be place in a more forward position. The lower mount attaches to your AK side rail and is available in several configurations. You need both in order to attach an optic. The upper mount components is dictated by your optic and attached to the lower mount. Basically, you select a lower mount based on your rifle or placement preference (forward or rear) as this is the part that interfaces with the side optic rail. The AK-300 series mount system consists of upper and lower mount components. Later, with the release of their improve AK-300 series mounts, they cemented their place as the best AK optic mounting solution. RS Regulate changed all that with the introduction of their original AK side mounts.

They didn’t work well with modern optics, they were heavy, they might not center the optic over the bore, they often had excessive height over bore, and they were very clunky in general. There was a time when I would have said that side optics mounts on AKs were not really a viable solution or at least they had been surpassed in usefulness by other options.
