Hi all,
Im pretty sure I know the answer, but could a side rail scope mount be put on on a Yugo underfolder? |
|
|
no, but an Ultimak is good for a red dot up front

I found the one that works with the yugo, but it's bookmarked at work. I'll throw it down here Monday. I'm ordering one for my underfolder next week.

From my knowledge, if you want the side rail (for the under folder) is to go with what the Yugoslavians originally designed. The yugos came up with their own rail system, they put it on their solid stocks as well... but it appears to be specifically designed for their underfolders... www.p-a-distributing.com/parts.html 4th one down... You'll have to have it riveted on then ground down to be flush. Installed Yugo rail Now... the new problem. Finding a scope mount that will sit low enough to use. The yugo scope stuff is tough to find, and can cost a bit more. I always wondered if I could modify something like this www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=266 to look good and work correctly on the yugo mount. |

Yep, that's the same one I had found above.

Thanks yall for the information and the links. Looks like a viable option, but only time will tell.

AK Low Profile mount
I wonder how well this would work on the Yugo rail.... HMMMMmmm damn I need more money to test this stuff out. Looks like it sits low enough and the lock mech. wouldn't interfere with the underfolder. I'd probably cut it down to size, knock another inch off and tac weld it back into place... refinish. Ahh just thinking out my ass. |

where can I find the ulti mak rail for a yugo? thanks, RG found it.

I'm probably wrong about this, not a structural engineer, but couldn't you bevel out part of the folder so that it will go past the mount? The issue of not being able to fold it with optics on isn't a big one in my book, because you can't do it with the left side folders either. I was toying with this idea myself just the other day.......

And that will work with the Zastava side plate from P.A. Distributing? EDIT: Because if it is, that's EXACTLY what I need. |

AK noob here. About to pull the trigger on an M92 folder and I was looking for the best solution for a red dot...

Any other ideas?

I finally got around to checking this out, and no, it won't work. the scope mount interferes with where the holes for the folder are, plus the last rivet does not align, my bad. |

Contrary to popular belief there are some siderail mounts for Yugo underfolders. One is found on the Yugo milled guns and I don't have a clue where to get them, but have seen them after market. The other option that I went with on my Yugo M90A was a new rail from Kalinka for the PSL. It is spot welded up where the PSL mount is spot welded. I had to trim the underfolder stock about 1 mm where it passed over the mount, but besides that it is rock solid and works perfectly with a PSL mount/scope.

I THINK...this would work on a yugo? I haven't tried one but am looking very hard at them:
http://texasweaponsystems.com/id1.html EDIT: Sorry. Guess it doesn't. Fits underfolders but not Yugo underfolders. |
|
|
We need more of these siderails, where did you get yours?
