Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of the RS Regulate AK-300 mount system?

The RS Regulate AK-300 system allows for a centered optic placement on AK rifles with side rails, achieving a lower 1/3 co-witness. This provides a more consistent cheek weld and faster sight acquisition compared to traditional side mounts.

How does the RS Regulate BM-1 barrel mount function?

The BM-1 is a lightweight Picatinny rail mount that clamps directly onto the AK barrel between the handguard and gas block. It offers a stable platform for accessories like weapon lights or lasers without affecting the rifle's accuracy.

What are the key features of the RS GAR handguard for the IWI Galil ACE?

The RS GAR handguard, particularly the 14-inch model, is constructed from billet 6061 aluminum, features KeyMod/M-LOK attachment points, and offers significantly more accessory mounting space while maintaining a comparable weight to the factory handguard.

Can modern Western optics be used with SVD and PSL rifles using RS Regulate mounts?

Yes, the RS Regulate SVD-305 mount is specifically designed for the Dragunov SVD and Romanian PSL. Its design allows modern Western optics to be centered over the bore, overcoming previous limitations.
