Bought this for my 10/22 and it works great. Gives me lots of places to put things on. Thanks CTD!!!!!!!

I baught this mount to add a bipod and still be able to use my cleaning rod. It works great with the bipod I have and recommend this mount to those that want to add a bipod to their AK style rifles.

In the picture it shows this mount on the bottom of the barrel but I wanted it on the top. I mounted it in front of the gas block with the rail on top to mount a Tasco Optima 2000 red dot sight. The dot is just the right height to co-witness with my open sights. Since the Optima only weighs 2oz I didn't have the issues about tightening the mount too much like the other revewier. It still has the two side rails empty if I want to mount a light or laser or both. The cleaning rod still fits with it mounted this way.I don't have a bayonet but it looks like it would still work too. Now when I take my scope off I can still shoot accurately with my 60 year old eyes.

I bought this item for my AK47 but wound up mounting it on my UZI. One thing that caught my eye was the amount of hex screws provided with the mount in different lengths. It didn't take long to mount a flashlight with this product. Good deal, I will most likely buy another one for my AK later.

This item works great to mount lights and lasers, I own one and will be ordering another soon.

View the enlarged picture and you can easily see what I’m talking about. Note the mounting screws on the bottom side and how the heads protrude. The counterbore is not deep enough to make the screw heads flush, and that blocked attachment of the device I wanted on on the bottom rail. I solved the problem, rather inelegantly, by grinding down the screw heads on my grinder (holding in a vice grip). That didn’t leave much depth for the hex wrench, and it’s easy to strip out the heads. Next, notice that the upper 4 mounting screws are in line with the lower four screws. In fact, they use the same hole threaded all the way through the body of the mount. When tightening the hex screws on the top to attach the mount to the barrel, the last screw stripped the internal threads. Believe me, I was not applying that much torque. But the mount is aluminum, and you have to be careful. The saving grace is that the mount came with a generous supply of screws of various lengths. I used four of the longer screws and, luckily, the screw going in the hole that was stripped took a bite on the clean threads past the damage. Device mounted, successfully. But, using the longer screws to mount the body to the barrel meant less thread length available for the screws coming up through the bottom. That’s no problem now, since there’s nothing mounted in the lower bracket. But, if I install something, like a laser, there could be a problem having enough thread length to ensure a tight grip without stripping the screws. There’s no reason the side or top rails can’t be used, however. The hex screws, by the way, are metric as far as I could tell. They took a 3 mm hex wrench, and the thread pitch is about 36 but doesn’t match anything in my U.S. tap and die set (I was going to chase the hole that stripped). At least they provide the hex wrench. All in all, OK, and not bad for the price, but be prepared for a little “customizing.”
