Shoutout to Tervell for keeping this comm active. If it weren't for him this place would be SPARSE but instead we've got multiple posts a day of interesting gun pictures. He's pretty cool for doing that.

Thanks dude!

Pic unrelated, it's a Cuban soldier, the optic on the AKM is the domestically produced Visor Patria.

Dang that optic looks rugged. I'd like to see the other side.

a lot of Soviet/Russian optics for the AK in general are pretty solidly-built, I assume the Cubans were going by similar design principles

(although as @Shaleesh@hexbear.net says it might be based on an AimPoint, the lens color and placement of the battery compartment do give it that vibe, but it's still clearly more beefed up compared to the AimPoint)

Cool, nice to see more variety of optic mounts for that platform.
