I've got an AK class coming up this month and I've got NO WAY to mount my light to my Yugo underfolder. A portion of the class will be at night and I need something.
Any suggestions? a DIY would be great! |

if yes, just get a 1 inch light mount (kz, dd, gg&g, vltor, etc) and mount it up if no this option would require you to "ruin your wood" by adding a small rail to it. posting while looking for reference picture. i have one, just gotta find it. eta: looks like the one with the wood setup got deleted. here's what i had done to my saiga prior to going to a complete ultimak setup. i got the rail off amazon, and there are several other sizes available. all you need is the rail, and a 30mm scope ring.

Thanks for the pic.
While most go for the left thumb tip to hit the button and try to work around the sling front (or go with a rear-only sling attachment), can I assume you use a left index finger knuckle? PS- While the light purists sugest getting the light up front to minimize the bbl shadow on any gun, I find nothing good happens to groups with weight in front of a gas block on any gun. Make the pic's fwd loc just right for an AK imho. |

RS:
Yep I'd just hit it w/ my left index finger or the knuckle of it. I just kept the light over there cuz thats how I set up my AR's when I use a VFG and can hit the light w/ my thumb then. So I just wanted to keep the familiarity of having the weight and light come from the strong side of the rifle. |
