A good buy came up on a Micro t1 so I jumped on it, now getting my barrel threaded for my MAK90 is now put on hold..
This will be going on my MAK90 and I dont know what mounting system to use.
Ultimak? Midwest industries optic mount rail? TWS dog leg with standard iron sight?
If I go with the Ultimak or TWS I was thinking of a QD mount?

If you want a railed handguard setup, then go with the Midwest Industry one and the dedicated T-1 upper.
A TWS with a low Larue mount would be a good option.
My current hands down favorite, is the RS Regulate side mount (providing you have a side rail mount on the weapon).

MAK90 = Ultimak with vents is what I would use.

You know, I didnt think about MAK's not having side rails.... yeah, an Ultimak will probably be the best route here.

I agree with Hawkeye in his recommendation of the MI/U.S. Palm unit. Mine cowitnesses with the iron sights and and is a rock solid mount.  |

I think Hawkeye said somewhere that Red Dot sights are the gateway to hanging doo dads on your rifle.
I love MI products but I went with HORSE on this one. I ordered the vented Ultimak with an American Defense low QD mount.
I just want something simple, so I just went with it to help me from hanging stuff all over it!
I originally had a PA micro dot but sold it because I couldnt trust it and said I would never run one unless it was a super reliable and tested one.
And plus WILLIE we couldnt have identical set ups!

I hope you can still cowtiness with the QD - with most you cannot.
The basic Aimpoint mount is best.

I have heard good things about the Attero Arms mounts - no need for rails on the side or the HG, and they have versions that should let you cowitness with a 3 dot pistol sight setup in case your red dot goes down: atteroarms.com/products.html |

I don't mind the lack of side rails on the Ultimak since I can mount my RDS and light in an offset mount (I use the IWC/HSP Thorntail) directly on the rail. I mount my sling on the factory sling mounting point.
However, I think Chinese AKs have the sling mounting point further forward which I do not care for so I would take a hard look at the US Palm/MI rails for a MAK. They also tend to handle heat better than the Ultimak though it has been a non-issue for me to this point.
