The main pros and cons of the rifle

Which optics to choose

The dovetail strip is 11 mm wide. It is cut directly onto the compressor housing and is not very reliable. If you installed a reinforced coil spring, then you should refuse to install optical sights.

In other cases, use the Pilad P1x20 red dot sight. It is lightweight, small in size and its body is made of aluminum alloy. Its mounting on an actual imitation rail will be quite reliable, and the design will withstand the recoil of medium caliber firearms (20-16).
