I have a primary arms 3x micro on a dustcover rail to keep it low on my ak. If you have it on the lowest mount you can put an arisaka 2.26 t2 mount in front of it and you can then use a t2 pattern dot in front of it. It works like a piggyback dot and is super sturdy but it does look jank. A guy on a delta34 video recommended it and I found his write up on arfcomso i have to give him credit for the idea. Im using a vortex dot right now and its ok for passive but not great. Im going to use ky Christmas bonus to get an aems and an adapter so I can have the best of both worlds (on a budget)
Personally no, there’s a lot that goes into height over bore one a rifle. Mechanical offset/optic height can require different zeroes and training. But all my rifles are setup with high optics so it carries over regardless. The 10 yd holdover on this is ~5inch.
@@austinburke9718 depends on your definition of overpaying unfortunately. Collectors/cool value-no, they’re going for closer to 2500, the machining is top tier and it’s a Bulgarian build so everything is top of the line in terms of fit and finish. And I don’t see it going down in value. Capability value-yes… the SLR107CR doesn’t honestly do anything a draco or modified WASR doesn’t… the accuracy, durability, and reliability isn’t better. Machining is better and the 100 series side folding system is cool (but know the SLR107CR isn’t a true 100 series. Front trunnion and bolt are AKM. Front sight/gas block aren’t 100 series spec.) even after adapting a stock system and tax stamp to the draco you’re floating 5-700 less than a stock 107CR. (And it still needs to get threaded by a gunsmith.)Or setting up a WASR similarly, with having a gunsmith install a front sight gas block, cut the barrel and pin and weld like mine. I bought this 107CR around 2016 for $900 Personally in current day if I were to start over I’d do a draco/wasr build for the money I could get out of it.

Thanks! I'm buying one for my 74 tonight
It’s pretty neat
@conceptualconcepts6.9 I'm hoping the 556 bdc is close enough for 545

Do you have a picture or vid of this set up??
It’s not jank if it works. That’s an awesome alternative! Thanks for sharing
Where did you get the red dot mount from
@@sunnyoutsidehah132l it’s the RMR mount. EPS comes with an adapter
any height over bore issues with the red dot?
Personally no, there’s a lot that goes into height over bore one a rifle. Mechanical offset/optic height can require different zeroes and training. But all my rifles are setup with high optics so it carries over regardless. The 10 yd holdover on this is ~5inch.
When the optic cost more than the rifle
Good glass/optics often cost more/the same as your rifle.
is $2100 overpaying for an Arsenal slr-107cr?

Looks like I’ll be throwing some money into my wasr, thanks for the in depth response 👍🏼
@@austinburke9718 yeah the WASR is a great gun
