How's the cheek weld on these Kobras?

Yeah that is the wrong rail. That is for the pic rail. The proper rail says Herron arms MFG

Thank you very much for confirming what I suspected.

At least now I know.

I ordered the correct Kobra with mounting kit, but I guess mistakes happen. I’ve got an email in to TI so they can correct it.

How much space is there from inside the kobra body and the reciever (not on top of the dust cover but on the left side of the reciever.
I have a different style mount on my reciever (real AK mount) but is sits on the reciever tighter then Herrons mounts.

I just want to make sure there is some space there. I need about a millimeter of space roughly to be able to slide the kobra on.

Kobra arrived today, bit of a mixup in my order won't get into details as i'm waiting to hear back from TI.

Currently trying optic to plate compatibility off the rifle. Kobra and generic UTG AK mount fit good.
POSP SVD mount is a tight fit and it is unknown at this time if it will work as it would have to be slid in from the front.

The SVD mount simply wont work... properly that is. Sliding it on from the front is like finger tightening lug nuts on a wheel.

i noticed the Kobra mount doesnt have the cant numbs on top like on the picatinny mount. i wonder if thats is what preventing the ak mount from sliding in?

If Tactical Imports wanted to show you good customer service, they would send you a Picatinny rail to go with the Pic side mount, and a Kobra/AK optic compatible side mount plate; along with another set of mounting pins and a right side safety; that way you could you could have two mounts for the same rifle, or a second complete mount for another Type 81.

At this point I'd just settle for the correct rail.

I've emailed and left voice mail.

Fair enough. Might want to post through Instagram, too, if you're on the platform, seen them reply there before.

I'm in the same boat.. Ordered a Kobra kit separately and having the same issue.

Anyone who got the wrong side mount heard back from TI?

I've not heard back yet.

 

[AntiKhaos]

Same sent them an email about mine about 48h ago. Guess i'll just have to start calling till they get tired of hearing the phone ring starting tomorrow.

 

[jtong66]

Ordered 2 (588 kit) but only received the (399) dot. Emailed them, waiting for a response.

TI replied to my email and we confirmed that it is indeed a wrong rail. I'll be mailing the rail back for exchange.

 

[Trapanese]

My reticle has a halo when not on the two lowest settings. Anyone else experience this bleeding effect?

 

[AntiKhaos]

Update heard back from TI about my order, at 530am EST. Everythings good and missing bits will be going out shortly.
Going to guess they're still pretty busy shipping rifles if still getting around to emails so early in the AM.

astimagtism?

 

[Mik123]

Bingo. Look through the optic with your phone camera to confirm. There should be no halo then.

they would be less busy if they didnt make all these minor mistakes, its also very frustrating and a hassle to their customers.

Are they going to send out the proper rail right away? Or will they wait to receive the wrong rail back by post? Wondering if it’s going to be a month before you, or I, see the proper rail.

I also got an email and sent a photo of the incorrect rail. No response back as of yet.
