Sized for medium to large hands, it features finger grooves on the front and a nice arched back for a firm grip. U.S. made, it counts as one 922(r) compliant part. Includes all mounting hardware. Weighs in at 7.3 ounces without hardware, 7.7 ounces with.  This product is not compatible with Yugoslavian M70 pattern AKs or Yugoslavian Pistols such as the M85 and M92.

New Product: Primary Arms 7.62×39 300 BLK 3x Compact Scope

February 11, 2017 By Robert Kay

This new optic from Primary Arms is called the “7.62×39 300 BLK 3x Compact Scope” but don’t let the name confuse you. It’s ideal for the AK. It uses the highly touted ACSS bdc which offers quick ranging, wind holds and moving target leads. Accurate even up to 400 to 600 yards. (See this video from AKOU using this scope at 500 yards). The etched reticle requires no illumination and there are 12 brightness settings powered by a CR2032 battery. It comes with a standard 1913 Picatinny mount. We’re told it’s quite  durable and is designed to handle 7.62 recoil and varied weather conditions. The finish on this scope is excellent it looks a lot more expensive than the $259.99 price point. Comes with a 3-year warranty. We tried it out on the range and loved it. Available directly from Primary Arms.
