I acquired a very lightly used GF4 / AK-104 today. It is stock as it came from PSA. It has the railed dust cover with a Sig Romeo mounted on it. I noticed there is a little vertical play in the dust cover, nothing side to side, but just up and down. I am curious as to how that will effect the accuracy. I have a WASR-10 that I put a TWS Railed Dog Leg on, and that thing is rock solid. No movement at all. I have also heard that a loose dust cover makes a more accurate AK. What is the real world experience with this? I know I need to just go shoot it and see, but I was looking for anyone who has hands on experience. Thanks in advance
I have a 104 also using the Sig red dot. Make sure the internals are seating correctly. I dont have any vertical play in mine.

I’ve never seen an Ak with a dust cap that doesn’t have a little play. Sure it will affect accuracy a bit, but IMO the platform was never meant to shoot flies, lol. You should still get pretty decent performance.

The TWS on my full size AK has zero play!

Yep… that was my plan b if I couldn’t source zenit stuff. That was probably 12 years ago though . I like the tws stuff too

I have the TWS and like it a lot. Have a heavy Stiener T536 on it and it handles it fine. Do NOT forget the blue threadlocker on it though. Don’t ask how I know, lol.
