[@weasle2904]

Which is super ironic since the Russians used to have their own measurement system completely different than the rest of the world. In fact the Mosin Nagant is not sighted in meters, it's sighted for "Arshins" which is approximately 0.7 meters.

Great product! The Presenter is excellent, knows her product and YES EASY ON THE EYES. Focus Randy!!!!!! Considering putting this on my Klalishnov 103 that I picked up this summer. Anyone have any expirence with this product? I plan to use my AK as an Farm Utlity Rifle ( anything out to 300 yards). Love to hear if they're worth the money. I have tried Midwest Industry side Mount , doesn't fit. I did pickup a No- Named brand from a friend but need more rail for Red Dot & possible Magnifier. So was it worth the cost to anyone? Great Work Anastasia and Company. I just saw this video and appreciate your Presentation Style! Semper Fi

[@cryowarrior1]

I was saving up for the sport kit 1................ now I want this.....

[@m.7n6]

I ordered sport 1 Zenitco kit from Russian thunder for my Romanian wasr10 AKM because I didn't want the full length AKM handguard, I'm only adding a nightstick twm 854xl with a pressure switch, and Zenitco bazis handstop, and the AKM 14x1lh 7.62 muzzle comp dtk1 14x1lh and adding a bars kusa optic.

[@joseph4333]

Which kit do you recommend for PSA AK 104

[@xXs3renityXx]

Amazing products

[@dartshinigami]

It should always fit tight, if not, change it...

[@rodiculous9464]

I am curious about barrel harmonics and POI shift with the bayonet lug attachment, because there are two reasons for free floating, one is for harmonics but the other is to prevent the barrel from flexing when resting on surfaces. for example if you were to apply pressure like she demonstrated it would cause not only the handguard to flex but the barrel to flex along with it. When that happens your POI shifts as well. I suppose that accomplishes the goal of preventing the laser device from coming out of alignment with the POI, but now it's coming out of alignment with your primary optic by essentially mating the barrel with the handguard. Maybe they made it so strong that it eliminates all flex entirely, but I am skeptical. And what of different heat expansion rates? For example the barrel may expand or shrink due to heat imparting a level of flex into the handguard, or perhaps vice versa. And also the barrel tends to freely "whip" when firing due to barrel harmonics. Perhaps they have thought of all these factors, but it makes me a bit wary.

[@ZenitcoinEnglish]

Yes, you need screws with size M5x9. Here are they on our website: en.zenitco.ru/catalog/accessories-and-spare-parts/spare-parts/m5kh9-screw/ But such screws are very likely to be found in household stores as well. Standard M5x10 screw will fit too

[@ZenitcoinEnglish]

Yes. In this case better to install it in the bottom front position. You just need to create an extra Picatinny rail there. We have rails that create extra Picatinny on Basis. “B-2 Leader” rail will be a good addition - it creates a Picatinny rail in this exact place (on Leader kit in front part next to bayonet lug). B-2M also fits there, B-2L is too long for front section. “B-2 Leader” is perfect.
