Of the two AK sight rails that I am aware of, this is far and away from the best. It's so utterly simple that it borders on brilliant. It is sturdy and in no way impinges on removal/replacement of the receiver cover. Its' small size precludes any sagging (the inherent design flaw of the other sight rail). Use blue Loctite to be on the safe side. The mount is durable, reliable and holds zero just fine. Whereas the previous reviewer altered his sight base for a good fit, I found altering the "foot" of the rail attachment system by Dremel is just as easy, quick, and leaves the firearm unaltered.

I mounted this Samson ak rear sight rail on an Izmash AK. I've tried other rail mounts, including both the side lock receiver mount and dust cover mounts with negligible results due to height and movement, and not holding a solid zero. This rail is a great alternative; its solid, easy to install and adjust and is exceptionally stable. I had to slightly modify the front sight base with a Dremel to mount it, but it was well worth the 3 minutes of extra fit and finnish. At the range with an EOTECH 551, it was shooting less than 1" groups at 50 and 3" in. At 100 yds. Great for an AK-SU with a 12" barrel and 4.5in. Permanent flashhider. No movement whatsoever. It would be excellent on normal AK's watch optic size due to sight height and offset. I'll be purchasing a Burris Fastfire or Trijicon RMR to replace the larger EOTECH and get a bit lower offset better suited to the compact AKSU.

Relatively easy to install on my RAS-47. Mounted a red dot and it seems to be tight.

Pricey but it installed easy and secure. Makes a great mount for my AK's red dot sight. Took minutes to install once I got the iron sight and spring out. It could be a little longer.

I was really pleased with the unit. but removing the iron site was not easy. it seemed to hold the red dot on target. it is expensive but worth it. I like the steel better than the aluminum

This is the third rear sight rail I have purchased for my AK-47. The other two were junk. The rivets on one came loose after 4 rounds. This is the best rear sight rail by far!

The perfect solution to provide a solid platform for optics on your AK. I have an AK-47 and an AK-74, both are now equipped with the Sampson rail system and have made me a happy shooter again!

I would suggest that anyone looking for a great scope mount consider this one. With a couple small changes it would be even better. It could be made a half inch longer in front and an inch longer in back to facilitate a slightly larger more secure scope ring attachment. But compared to any other others I've used on the WASR 10 AK or the Draco 10 it is exceptional.

This is the best AK mount I have ever used or have seen in my life! It is built to take the shock that most AK's produce and never looses it's position. I have installed this on both AK rifles I own and highly recommend this rail to anyone who wants a great solution to the AK rail quest. Thank you! Bill Huff

Quality product which allowed me to leave the wood fore grip on my Yugo M-70, and still mount a red dot. Turned cheek weld into chin weld though but still doable.
