Luke C talks with Earle Pope, owner of Chestnut Mountain Manufacturing, at GunCon 2026 about the company’s OKP-7 reproduction optic — a faithful recreation of the classic Russian-pattern reflex sight right down to the real Russian manual (obviously translated into English, too). Built for real AK-platform rifles and pistols, not airsoft replicas, the OKP-7 will also be getting an upgrade in the form of a more common battery type and other improved features over the original to make it that much better.
Chestnut Mountain’s OKP-7 is tested to hold zero on 7.62×39 platforms and is available with either Picatinny or dovetail mounting, in CETKA 1 (T-post) or CETKA 2 (circle dot) reticle configurations.
