Both sit nicely with 91/30 Mosin a fixed stock AKM and an AKMS underfolder.

Previously had two M44 carbines, an AK-103, AK-104 and a SVD-S, which is the folding stock/short barreled paratrooper version of the Dragunov.

Forget to say regarding the "canted" front sight/gas block.....if the sights are zeroed correctly and poi=poa then leave well alone as if it is like that from the factory it's probably for a reason.The front sight block on my Romanian AKM "appears" to be canted to the left but poi=poa so I've left well alone and after a while you don't notice it.If you correct a canted front sight you may have problems as it is actually only considered to be canted if a zero cannot be achieved.It isn't easy to correct a truly canted sigjt/gas block without aligning the part in question, redrilling the holes and fitting enlarged pins.Lots of info regarding canted components on arfcom and AKfiles.com but at the end of the day it's an AK....just shoot it! :good:
