Saiga 20 gauge shotgun - which scope mount?

[pnguyen678]

Hey gang,
I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of scope mount do I need for the Saiga 20 gauge shotgun? I tried the BP-02 low profile weaver mount from my WASR-10 and it just slid around on the rail.
Thanks in advance,
Phong

Ah, I found the answer. I just had to tighten the BP-02 weaver mount. Thank you Tantal for posting this on your website:

Tightening the mount solved the problem perfectly.

The correct mount for your Saiga-20 shotgun is........
From the Russian "Optical Sight Mount" manual,

1. APPLICATION

The mount is intended for locating optical sights, which fitting diameter is 24.5 mm, on the plate of a dovetail type found on the side wall of the hunting carbine receiver.
Mount COK-AK.C6.17-01 is designed for setting sights on the carbines models "Saiga","Saiga-5.6","Saiga-410","Saiga-20",
"Saiga-12".

The mount model COK-AK.C6.17-01 is the one imported by EAA.
