This is one I have hunted after for
many years but could not find due to how uncommon
it is. PK01 is an older optic from
BelOMO that has a relatively rare light sensing
ability to automatically adjust brightness. While the
auto brightness feature definitely works I can't say
I've had time to really get to know this optic. PK01
is not related to any other optics named PK01...it
appears BelOMO has a habit of using that designation
for a wide variety of optics it produces that are all
different from each other.
Compared to Western optics and many modern Russian
types PK01 is relatively heavy at 9.3 ounces. It also
has a fairly pronounced tube effect but can still be
shot with both eyes open. I have to say I prefer most
of the modern designs over PK01 original but it's an
interesting add for the collection. The only place
I've ever seen it advertized is EastWave but it's been
out of stock since I first saw it there.

September 2017, I randomly came across a video of
PK01 Original being used by special forces or police
units from the Republic of Kyrgistan in a promotional
video. Note the AN94 as well
