Hi, folks. I have a MAK-90 (Chinese clone of the AK-47). My one does not have the side scope rail that is found on European AK-47's and derivatives. However, I'd like to be able to mount a red-dot sight on it.
Is it possible to install a side rail on a MAK-90? I imagine the alignment has to be very precise, and I'm not sure whether fitting it with screws or rivets would mess with the internal parts. Has anyone done this before? Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith or company to do the work?
If it's not feasible, can anyone recommend a good forward scope mount (i.e. a Scout scope mount) that will fit on or replace the top of the handguard? Alternatively, has anyone used any of the scope mounts that replace the rear sight?
Thanks in advance for your input.
