Kobra red dot sight

[JeffMan]

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

I see that with a lot of dot sights when they’re turned up to bright for the environment your in - my Kobra, Aimpoint, Eotech, etc

astimagtism?

I have slight astigmatism and every reticle except the dot alone are very crisp for me. The dot by itself starbursts a little though like any other red dot for me.

as suggested could you post a picture taken even with your camera and the red dot on different settings.?

No issue, all normal as per TI

I bought a Kobra off EE here and I notice a red circle effect to the top left of reticle. It's quite interfering and I'm not sure if it's a faulty device. Any insight?

could yuo post a pic of what you re seeing ...

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.

I don't know if anyone has answered your question or not, but the Kobra body is very close to the rifle receiver on the left side.

I don't think it would fit on a normal AK mount, on the side of a Type 81 - the mount would have to allow more space between the receiver and optic, as the TI side rail does.

Thank you. Been waiting a while just to hear exactly what you said!!!!

Fits like a glove..

Im looking at mounting my own ak rail onto the optic ready version using a PK-A Venezuelan Russian Red Dot.

Excellent, exactly the confirmation we needed.

You may even get cowitness with that setup

 

[tinviper]

That's true it looks like it should co witness with the PK-A.

I contacted Tactical Imports, they wont sell the type 81 kobra optic rail separately from the optic even though they acquire them separately. The rifle I ordered is optic ready, However they are trying to corner the market on optics and rails and this is starting to annoy me.

Thought u had ur own AK rail ? The Ti Kobra rail wont work with that PKA Venezuelan model anyways.

No work was required, it just works out of the box. I bought in on eBay about a year ago, it's called "VOMZ Pilad 043-02 Side Rail Mount". It was shipped to me from Russia. There's a similar mount from the same manufacturer available now:

You can contact the seller, may be he can source the same one.

Finally got my missing parts from TI.

Ignoring the front sight post since I got an early gen bendy gun. MWI Ak pic rail is about 1-2mm right of center on my rifle. Sits low, fits tight, real close to rubbing.

 

[tinviper]

I thought the kobra mounted onto ak side rails? TI had a custom cobra rail made to line up with the type 81 bolt pattern vs me welding and drilling the ak mount to work.

My Kobra fits on the TI Kobra rail, and my other AK pattern rail.

Thank you for confirming that! I contacted huron but no response so far. Im planning on making a standard ak rail work. Im going to order a POSP 4x24 VM 1000m RF AK SAIGA VEPR, #0621 and the Venezuela red dot.
