Sometimes we let our wallets get the best of us. I can’t count how many times I’ve purchased an accessory for a firearm, only to be let down. To be honest, it’s my own fault 99% of the time. The usual sequence is that while looking for something, I need to select the cheapest product…typically the one all the reviews warn you about buying, almost always provided by a manufacturer that has a reputation slightly worse than Adolph Hitler for quality control.
When you buy a product made to fit into the lower end of the marketplace, you get what you pay for. The customer experience is almost always topped off by no possible way to contact the manufacturer, or to get your issues resolved. Dealers that sell such things are also not very receptive to sorting out any issues, and in the end, you have a piece of junk that sits on your workbench mocking you every time you see it. If this sounds familiar, don´t despair as you are not alone. Lots of people won´t admit it, but I will – over the years, I haven’t always bought quality items. One of the worst that I can remember is a brand “x” dustcover mount for one of my SKS rifles. If you are considering an optic mount for your SKS, let me save you the time of thinking about a dustcover mount of any kind. They suck. And, if I had thought about it for even a second, I would have realized why. On an SKS, the dust covers are exactly that - just a cover. They move and there’s no way around that. Oh wait…what if I add four screws that stop this and secure the dustcover to the receiver? That works great until I have to clean the gun. But that’s no issue…Just zero your optic every time you clean the gun. Good times. Bottom line is that these work great for gun pictures, and not much else. I almost forgot to mention the convenient height they usually put the optic at. We recommend them if you like to spend time zeroing your gun and you have a head that is 36 inches across. Don´t feel bad if you have one. I do too. And if you want one, or another, please get in touch. I´m willing to give a great price on a slightly used one. Act fast as we only have a single unit!
