This rail fits several types of mounts with no problem. I have riveted them successfully too, with a little effort. Remember to drill your receiver holes before you bend. The best way to mount these that I have found is to tap the holes with 10-32 and use socket head cap screws from inside the receiver.

Great product. Only real option to mount a scope on my Yugo M70B1. Unless you've got a drill press, a tap and die set and are comfortable drilling through your receiver, take this to a competent gunsmith for installation. Use 10 X 32 button head allen screws from the hardware store and have the outside holes of the mount tapped so that the screws can be installed from inside the receiver. A word of caution: the forward allen screw button head can not project too far into the receiver or it will obstruct mag clearance (at least with my Tapco polymer mags). I had to remove the forward button head allen screw and re-install without the lock washer (added lock-tight to threads) so I could achieve the necessary clearance. This only applies to Yugos with 1.5 mil thick receivers. This may not be the case with a WASR-10.

3.0 out of 5 stars needs work, December 23, 2009

It works as a fine side mount but would have gladly paid a little more for it to include bolts and instructions. Make sure you have your rails before mounting this to your receiver. It doesnt come with any measurements or installation instructions. It has divitos to fit over the rivits in the receiver si I used those as a guide but it mounted a little crooked. You need to measure and "level" this very carefully before drilling. You might have to grind down a rivit or two to get this thing level. Other than that it holds well.
