If your really set to put a red dot on the front furniture, mind you it makes the ak very front heavy(iv tried a red dot in that location), i would go with this model, but again, just my opinion.

If you want something that solid metal, this is were its at.
I just feel that model you are looking at is a touch pricey for just the top gas block.

That unit might offer more flexibility but I still maintain the ultimak is the superior optics mounting alternative because its rail is positioned lower to the bore line than the copes unit.
The "drop at comb" of the AK stock was dimensioned for iron sights. As such, any mounting option that placers the optic higher than the iron sights will begin to present cheekweld problems. Granted it's a matter of degree because even the ultimak puts the optic on a somewhat higher plane but AFAIK it's the "lowest" mounting option currently available.
The copes unit appears to put the optic at least 3/4 + inches higher than the ultimak. The rail on the ultimak is actually belowe the plane of the iron sights whereas the plane of the copes appears to be on the same plane as the irons if not a tad higher.
ultimak
copes
The cheekweld issue is the reason the OEM com bloc side rail optics mount is THE absolute worst option as it places optics well above the plane of the irons sights.
This guy doesn't have a cheekweld, he has a chinweld.
