AKMSN with optics rail
This is the AKMSN/AKMSL rail, a version of the AKMN rail redesigned to fit the receiver of the AKMS folding stock rifle. The primary differences include the deletion of part of the rear section of the mounting base, and the more central location of the plate. The pivot pin clearance scallops have been repositioned due to the plate location on the receiver. The left side folding stock strut arm is specially modified on these rifles. First, it is slotted for clearance at the section just above the plate when the stock is folded. Also note that the left side strut has a larger angle bend at it's folding pivot point (and also at the baseplate just behind the end of the slot). This forms a rather large bulge on the left strut arm. The combination of the slot and the extra bends in the strut allows the assembly to clear the thick two-piece rail when folded.
