I'm not going to go into a 1000 word rant. I'm going to keep it short, honest and to the point. The 2 screws that are supposed to hold it tight strip out the stamped, that's right I said STAMPED screw holes before it even gets remotely tight enough to keep optics zeroed. They just punched a couple of holes in the rear and threaded them. If there were nuts brazed or tacked under the mount it may be a decent product but as is, they are worthless crap. Save your money and get one of the other mounting options because this one sucks. Any cover that mounts this way is crap. NC makes some good stuff but this is not one of them.

This seems like a good idea. An easy to install scope mount for an AK. It is fairly well made for the price and has allen head bolts to help secure it. The problem is that it is 'universal' and doesn't fit very well. At least not a Chinese MAK. It took a fair amount of time with a Dremel tool to make it half-way work, but it still wasn't secure. The problem is that the receiver cover is just not a good mount for a scope. I doubt that you could ever keep it zeroed. It might be okay with a cheap red dot where close enough is acceptable, but for anything else, buy a receiver mount or use the iron sights.

Fits really well on my stamped reciever the adjustment screws take up slack in cover to keep scope true, However you need to use medium locktite on the before mentiond screws, they have a tendency to loosen.

I bought this item a few days ago, and it just arrived today. It didn't fit, I own a yugo M70AB2 and it was just 3/8 of an inch too long. This receiver cover is 9 3/8 inches, and my M70AB2 receiver cover is 9 inches exactly. I mean, I am not sore about the purchase, I'm gonna fit it to my rifle. But I just wanted to let potential buyers out there know they should measure before they buy. Once I fit it, it will make a great addition to my rifle. It is a very nice cover, the rails are very nice. But like I said, just make sure it's the right fit. If you're comfortable with modifying it, then this would be a great buy. But if not, you may want to find another one.

I got this and its very tight. Doesn't move a mm. I also like that you can look through the center of the rail and still use your iron sights.

Looks great on my ak but comes loose when I shot it and when I tightened the bolts the metel on the back bent

The item did not fit. It was more than an inch too long for my Yugo AK. I cut and filed it down, but ended up cutting it down too far. Threw it out and went with a hand guard rail instead. This was a total waste of money, and I will certainly be reading be a little more careful when I am reading reviews in the future. Lesson learned I suppose.

It seems to work quite well on my inter ordinance AK-47 with very minor filing on the hole on the back. Doesn't wobble at all.

Hey i saw some of the other reviews on the this ak cover and was sceptical in buying it but i did and turned out better then i expected. I have a Wasr 10 Ak47 and all i had to do was hammer the back lip of the cover under the square hole a little bit so it falls in place, i also had to grind a little portion of the square hole on the bottom where the square button pops out, i did this took about 10 min all together and it went right on. Great Ak top cover!

I was going to use this for a Draco pistol I recently bought but had to return the item because of major design flaws in the product itself. If you're ambitious enough in some modification and problem solving then this product is for you. Shipping was fast as usual with amazon. The cover was rock solid, maybe to solid, the rail itself may have had too much material then actually needed for its purpose, so it was almost a pound of extra weight (13 or 14 oz. I think). The cover fit pretty tight at first and a few racks of the charging handed seemed to seat the cover better without any modification but did noticed the rear part of the dust cover would not fully seat properly so the cover had a little rocking and the button was binding. Anyway I headed for the range and after a couple of rounds the cover popped off; lucky for me I brought my original, installed it and finished the day at the range. Later, careful inspection revealed that the threaded tabs (that hold the allen screws) that are tack welded at the inside of the back side of the cover was hitting the corners of the rear trunnion, and was stopping the dust cover from sitting properly (making it rock). The treaded tabs (nuts, whatever...) were too wide so a little grinding to the tack welded tabs or the corners of the rear trunnion was necessary to fit the cover properly, which I never got a chance to do ether because one of the tack welded tabs fell off while fiddling with the cover. Maybe building a weld then drill and tap the rear trunnion could have secured the cover better, or weaken the trunnion, don't really know, but would have had to do a lot of work for a proper and secure fit.
