Draco Railed Receiver Dust Cover...
4/18/2011 11:47:52 AM
Hi all,
I'm looking at getting a railed dust cover for the receiver of my Draco. I'm wanting to put a reddot or iron sites on it (which should increase the site picture). I've read that due to differences in different AKs, it can be hard to find matching/mated parts. Can any of you recommend one that you know fits this wonderful little pistol.
Thanks,
Josh

Just be aware that receiver cover mounted optics tend to not hold zero very well. Have you thought about an Ultimak railed gas tube?

THIS! (first response nails it and all)
I have tried railed dust covers, even the ones with anchor screws and I have not tried a set-up yet that was able to maintain zero. Basically every trip to the range was shoot, adjust, shoot a little more, adjust a little and call it a day, repeat every trip to the range.

I ordered a TWS dust cover/rail setup recently. With any luck I'll have it by this weekend; I'll throw it on the Draco, snap some pics and give some thoughts on it if it shows up in time.

This is the only way to go as far as a railed cover goes (unless you can somehow score a real Beryl) but they're expensive. With the rear peep sight it will cost you fully half of what you probably paid for your Draco, but its worth it if that's what you're really after.

I appreciate the feedback. I mainly plan on using the iron sites, so am not that interested in getting a good zero since I really won't be shooting past 25 yards.
Keep me updated as to how that purchase goes, also, do you have a link?

Looks like I'm not going to have it in time for the weekend festivities. Damn.
