Just picked up the Romanian Military Classic from Lee Armory, at a quick glance I'm impressed! If you don't know much about Lee Armory, they're based out of Arizona and assemble AKM's from virgin ROMARM Kits and they make them right.

What I like from just one session at the range:

-Polished TAPCO Trigger feels real nice

-Cerakote job on the receiver is well done

-Magwell is cut perfect. Used Magpul (gen 2), XTech Tactical and Chinese mags and they fit perfect without any wobble

For $800 it's one hell of a gun, better than my WASR was that's for sure.

 

 

Does it have a side mount for an optic?

 

it does. I MAY get the Khyber Customs mount that replaces the iron sight for an Aimpoint, MRO or RMR style mount. I may do that with a RMR replica like the vortex....or get a dog leg

RS Regulate is in my opinion far and away the best mounts for a side rail on an AK. 

How are they for holding zero? I’ve  heard mixed reviews, then again dog legs aren’t rock solid like a upper receiver on a black gun

They hold zero minute of AK.  They are good to go and are probably the lightest. if ounces matter on an 8lb rifle.

That’s an option. Not sure if I want to do that and run a primary arms/holosun/MRO or get the khyber customs iron sight mount and run a RMR style dot. On all my black guns I run nice high end optics but to get the most from an AR you need that. AK you CAN, it’s just going to under deliver
