Need AK owners' help in getting a part measured
Good morning,
I have a favor to ask from all those who own Type 56s, Saigas and all other AK-type rifles that have a rear sight block. I'm trying to determine the best way to complete the picatinny rail kits to fit as many AK variants as possible, however there is a part that differs too much on the models I can locate on Grabcad:
If you have a set of calipers, would you please measure the height of that cut and then write it down below with your model? I understand your spring will be occupying that space, so in that case please write the thickness of the spring as well as the remaining height of the shelf sticking out. to the nearest hundredth of a millimeter would be appreciated.
As mentioned before this kit will replace your rear leaf sight and the rail itself will offer a small trench cut as a back up. The benefit is that if you have a smooth dustcover, you'll be able to fit optics as they should be fitted - close to your eye.
Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback! So the variations are more common than I'd hope; we'll design it to include spacers to compensate for this.
But please provide any more measurements if you can - it will help us to ensure the kits will be used on a greater variety of models.
