The Czech Small Arms (CSA) optic mount is manufactured from high quality aluminum alloy and has been hardcoat anodized for added surface strength, abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection. To see this mount in action, click on the "Videos" heading at the top of the page and click on the top video titled, "Sa vz.58 used in two day rifle course."
The picatinny rail is centered over the receiver cover and is positioned away from ejected shell casings. This mount should only be used with optics that will not extend into the path of ejected casings - such as red dot optics. If an optic is used that extends beyond the picatinny rail, there is a high probability that the optic will be impacted regularly by ejected casings.
