PSA AK Scope side mount issues

Mind posting pictures?

As long as it's inline with the receiver and barrel, scope/sight should be able to still dial in okay.

Have two of them (original models) both on WASER. They both are just shy of being right over the dead middle of the dust cover, but even cheap scopes sight in fine from there:

Also, you got me curious, and I also have a PSA AK and an unconverted SAIGA. So I drug them out along with the WASR above, and found that the mount fits the SAIGA fine, but only goes on about 3/4 of the way onto the PSA mount before getting to tight, even loosened all the way. I'm sure I could tap it onto place, or if not, spread the bottom space of the mount just a skosh and make it work.

I didn't dig deep enough to get to the second WASR, but I remember that it fit tighter right out of the box, and remember I had to tweak it a bit.

And btw, you know at least with these models, the screw is backwards right? (lefty tighty, righty loosie).

Here is one I made for my Saiga, Took a bit of work, can still take the dust cover and field clean it.

 

For .308 I like it. I bet it does not move at all.

I do need to get out and shoot a few, but in the past it was good to go.

I am sure I can dial it in but I can't handle how offset it is. And yes I know it's just like a toilet handle.

I really wish I would have got a Saiga years ago.

Well, you have a point, since I knew Methuselah personally, but unless I know I'm a goner ahead of time, I won't be selling them myself.
