NcStar AK Receiver Cover Tri-RailL Weaver Scope Mount (MTAK)

 (55 customer reviews)

I'm not going to go into a 1000 word rant. I'm going to keep it short, honest and to the point. The 2 screws that are supposed to hold it tight strip out the stamped, that's right I said STAMPED screw holes before it even gets remotely tight enough to keep optics zeroed. They just punched a couple of holes in the rear and threaded them. If there were nuts brazed or tacked under the mount it may be a decent product but as is, they are worthless crap. Save your money and get one of the other mounting options because this one sucks. Any cover that mounts this way is crap. NC makes some good stuff but this is not one of them.

This seems like a good idea. An easy to install scope mount for an AK. It is fairly well made for the price and has allen head bolts to help secure it. The problem is that it is 'universal' and doesn't fit very well. At least not a Chinese MAK. It took a fair amount of time with a Dremel tool to make it half-way work, but it still wasn't secure. The problem is that the receiver cover is just not a good mount for a scope. I doubt that you could ever keep it zeroed. It might be okay with a cheap red dot where close enough is acceptable, but for anything else, buy a receiver mount or use the iron sights.

I bought this item a few days ago, and it just arrived today. It didn't fit, I own a yugo M70AB2 and it was just 3/8 of an inch too long. This receiver cover is 9 3/8 inches, and my M70AB2 receiver cover is 9 inches exactly. I mean, I am not sore about the purchase, I'm gonna fit it to my rifle. But I just wanted to let potential buyers out there know they should measure before they buy. Once I fit it, it will make a great addition to my rifle. It is a very nice cover, the rails are very nice. But like I said, just make sure it's the right fit. If you're comfortable with modifying it, then this would be a great buy. But if not, you may want to find another one.
