Hey BRAH, depends on what you want to do with the rifle. If it were me, i wouldn't put an optic on a weapon like that. I know from experience that most cheap quick detach will not hold zero and if they do at first later will loosen up or even fall off If the gun is actually used.
If you want a wall mount look at my gun type deal keep the cheap quick detach.
If you want a Shit hit the fan mount, run a cheap solid mount and optic so that if the optic fails you can wipe it off the weapon with a doorway, rock, tree ect and use iron sights. I am not familiar with your cheek weld or the optic height or eye relief (im not googling it) so it makes it hard for me to offer a recommendation.
I can tell you i have considered the ultimak m1-b barrel mount. To me the design always made sense and isnt stupid expensive. Its still cheaper than a high end detachable mount. Price point was a "point" for you so you cant really have it all.
Keep in mind im a precision shooter so mounts and prices and performance to me are different than some dude or in this case a brah with an AK.
If this is a sit down at a shooter bench mount, i have little to no info as its retarded on an AK.

Yeah I considered that one too, breh, but there are those pesky on-line commandos who say it too can have trouble staying on zero, so yeah it's probably better to just use the original sights. Only one that looks like it would have the least amount of trouble is a rail that requires drilling/tapping into the receiver. Not doing that since this is nothing but a plinker.

You're saying it wrong, man-crush. It's "DON'T BE BEECH AND USE BLESSED RIFLE OF THE MOTHERLAND THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED!"

Still going to torque down the UTG rail. I like shooting with a red dot and don't want an AR like every breh on the planet has, broshore.

What type of AR? Cycle backwards or back into battery?

Anderson lower, and i think a radical upper with carbine gas length system, nothing special. What's odd is was shooting it 2 weeks ago with a standard a2 flash hider and a gen 2 magpul 30 rd mag and it was perfectly fine.

Put a witt machine mre on it and was shooting a 42 rd mag and its having all kind of issues. It ejects the spent casing and pushes the new rd about halfway up and pins the case against where the bolt locks into the upper.

What do you mean a .40 will hurt your hands?

Thats right. Ive never been a fan of having a scope on an ak. Maybe a nice red dot like an aimpoint micro h1/t1

The bsquare(drill and tap) is also good option but 99% of people won't do it, they want bolt on. That's why I suggested the chinsey other option.
I prefer an ak iron sighted, transition to a shotty or any other non optic rifle(ruger 14) is easy(besides an AR)

The gas system didn't like the change, take the mre off and I bet it's run fine again.

I can load .40 to over 1100fps(1200+ depending on weather) with 180 grain bullets a true hot load, after a mag or two it feels like you slapped a table top or slapped a whore across the face.
The recoil is harsh enough I worry about damage to the frame guide rod ect.
