Got the Occam MERC rail for a draco

Got the Occam MERC rail for a draco. Was upset that there wasn't a gas block to fit the smaller barrel journal but I still got it on and it looks great! Functions flawlessly as well. Super sturdy and tames the heat coming off the barrel and gas tube very well! Only inconvenience thing was I had to shave the front sight off on the Draco combo gas block. I think it looks great despite that!

The Ruger AK mag well adapter is great…

The Ruger AK mag well adapter is great as a toy, but should not be trusted when our govt decides to herd us on to train cars.
Needing to trim the mag so the bolt cycles can be the end of your life if youre depending on your weapon and you grabbed the wrong mag.
Great product as a toy.

Awesome Iron Sights!

I found this company while looking for a gun sight that could be used on my Browning 6.5 Creedmoor, due to the fact that the UT DWR changed some regulations that open sights only could be used one some of the rifle deer hunts in my area. The companies website was easy to use and search for items, the checkout process was easy to use. Once I ordered the item i emailed the company and received a quick reply of when it would be shipped out to me. They also sent the tracking information etc. I received the product and it works very well, got it sighted in relatively quickly, the sight is solid and holds its zero very well. If I need to order an iron sight again I will purchase from this company.

Broke in nicely with 700rnds first day

Put the full length rail, irons, plus adjustable gas block on my wasr 10 and it ran very well throughout a 700rnd 1 day rifle class. Seems more accurate, still gets hot after a few mags obviously. Only a few very minor critiques:
- magnified optics are tough to use with this, a option for a looong well supported canteliver would be very nice so I don't need a ak rail mounted flip to side or mount a lvpo canteliver backwards for proper eye relief haha
- the nose of the rifle handguard if shortened about 1" or 2" would make adjusting the gas block MUCH easier, currently you need pliers to reach it (probably should have ordered a pistol length)
- it would be very nice if the top mlok slots had a little more space above the side's "ridge/step down" so more mlock accessories could fit there
- Quad rail pistol length would be awesome ;)

Overall this is by far the best rail for the AK, regardless of cost... Amazingly it is also one of the most reasonably priced, the only other "duty" grade option is the ultimak

Also the gas block is fantastic, found my settings and was pelting AR guys 20ft away in a very consistent spot ha. Irons are great too. Thank you for all the documentation!

The best free float AK rail. Period.

While my barrel is out being populated, I'm not able to review the rail system. But, my first build is any indication the rail will work great! It's very easy to install, locks up tight and stays that way. It is the best free float rail on the market for the AK platform. Highly recommended!!
