It shouldn't really be a
surprise if you're into AK's but the Russians have
produced a number of newer designs for the AK74 than
just the older PSO/POSP series optics that we are
familiar with. During the past twenty odd years they have built a few dedicated
5.45 optics which have modern features and interesting
concepts. While NPZ has been making some high tech and
interesting optics, BelOMO has seemed to stay a little
more traditional with their designs, at least with
what we have available in the US. Some of their
prototype optics are extremely interesting. Many of
the BelOMO concepts seem to be aimed at securing
military contracts and because of that there are a few
prototype models that have made their way to the USA
that are not in serial production.
Being a 5.45 buff I've picked up a few of the
dedicated military style 5.45 optics and figured I'd
put out some observations and theories along with some
hands on experiences.
There are four main optic types calibrated
specifically for the 5.45x39 round:
NPZ
1P78 Kashtan - Russian modern issue for AK74M and RPK74
(Includes 7.62x39 versions as well)
NPZ
1P29 - Soviet copy of British Trilux/SUIT
BelOMO
PO 3.5x21P - 3.5x magnification with extremely wide
field of view
(and other limited quantity types like PO4x24P)
East German
Zeiss ZFK 4x45 - Former DDR cold war scope similar to
the PSO-1
I have not personally heard of a PSO or POSP type
optic calibrated for 5.45x39, but it shouldn't be
difficult to use any of them with a 400m
zero as long you realize the turrets and
additional chevrons won't compensate for bullet drop.
In a pinch POSP optics will work just fine as long as
the proper AK or universal mount is used (SVD mounts
do NOT slide on from the front and even though they
will fit they will not hold zero unless by pure luck)
