I dont believe those will fit on the kraken unless you instead the mounting bracket.

No optics will fit a Kraken unless you install some form of mounting hardwear. :\

Attaching the scope plate would probably damage the plastic receiver of the Kraken. I wouldn't recommend going that route.

+1 on not having magnification that far away from your face.

Try a more open red dot like the rail mounted doc sight that RM suggested or something like this http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...oducts_id=1038 can be mounted directly on the rail you have.

It's more open and won't obstruct your field of view.

I hate the look of those types of open red dots, Greenpunk.

I used my freinds on the gun, and just felt that it was too weird for my AK.

I love the look of the kobra, but too bad its not availiable in a rail mountable version...

I'm still stuck deciding. ugh

I got one of those tasco red dots at walmart for my kraken and it get the job done

Love May 6th, 2010 22:23

What about this red dot? I've seen these (or one very similar to it) on some AK's.

Its tiny though. Jeez.

Or, instead of a reddot, I should look for some weaver rail iron sights. hahaha

Do a search on Google for "AK irondot"...

Love May 6th, 2010 22:55

Yea, Skru. Thats the one I was looking at. Dealextreme has a cheap clone of it. Yet, I'm unsure of the irondot. It seems to be pretty damn small. (Like, small diameter for objective/viewing.)

Rooster May 6th, 2010 23:13

Man that Irondot is not cheap.. $300 for a sight.. maybe for RS but not airsoft.

Irondot...it is small, I'd think the height is about perfect for the sight height of AK though....

A rail mounted docter copy by king arms or something will be close enough...

Love May 7th, 2010 09:07

Dealextreme has one for cheap. Cheap enough that I could buy it, and if I dont like it, sell it for even cheaper. It looks almost identical, it just doesnt come with the plastic shell that goes outside of it or whatever that was ontop of it in the picture you posted, RacingManiac.

Unfortunately, my rail does not line up with my sights.

Its the rail pictured here: http://www.socomtactical.net/images/...-mount-top.jpg

I can actually see the front sight if I look under the rail...

RacingManiac May 7th, 2010 09:56

I thought its actually a railed forearm or something. You might be able to mount magnified optic on that if you mount it far enough back.

The shell(aluminum actually) is what makes it an "irondot", its a Larue mount and protective housing around the normally somewhat flimsy fast-dot sight.

I have been going through the whole "what rail will work" thing with my AK. I tried the one you have pictured above and found although it looked real nice as a scope mount it still was to far forward. I ended up getting one from Eb airsoft that goes from the rear site and attaches to the top mount on the butt stock. Sorry I don't know how to put up a link. I did have to dremel where it attaches to the butt stock because the angle is wrong but not much. The old rear site (the adjustable part) just twists off and this new rail goes in it's place and the top machine screw on the butt mount is replaced with a new longer 4 mm one and its on. If your battery goes up top you just take out the butt screw and the rail will lift up like it is hinged on the rear site. This rail even has it's own iron sites if you want to use them (much like the M4 style peep sites). Hope this is of some help. Really depends on you budget. This rail runs about $60.00 CAN, free shipping from these guys and about a week and a half to get to Ontario.
