UltiMAK AK Forward Optic Mount for Yugo M70 Series

Note: For full sized Yugoslavian pattern AKs such as the M70 series and OPAP/NPAP. Will be slightly shorter than original gas tube, this is normal and will not effect function.

A rock-solid platform for your premium optics. With the increasing popularity of the AK based rifles in three gun competitions, the need for a handy, light, completely reliable high speed sighting system has resulted in the UltiMAK optic mount. Its Picatinny rail is positioned well below the iron sight axis, making this the lowest optic mount available for the Yugo M70. With a tubular sight mounted low, you will be able to use your optic without a comb riser and still use your regular hold. The system allows for co witnessing (the ability to use your iron sights right through a 1x sight as a back-up sighting system) when used with a tubular reflex sight (we recommend our MD-FBGII). This heavy duty mount replaces the original steel gas tube and upper handguard, so it adds less than one ounce to the weight of the rifle, making it by far the lightest optic mount installation for the Kalashnikov. The forward positioning of the optic gives you faster, easier and more natural targeting while maintaining your full field of view. Multiple target or moving target engagements, with both eyes open, become second nature. The UltiMAK Yugo M70 optic mount rarely if ever needs to be removed to clean the rifle, so you need not worry about loss of zero. Since the mount is clamped to the barrel and not jammed in between the gas block and the sight block like the original gas tube, several UltiMAK users have reported an improvement in their AK's accuracy.

Fits: Yugo M70 rifles with gas tubes approximately 7.6" in length.
