Some of you have been creating mounts for the GK1, and that is awesome. And we all know the mount M0ist0ne created (see topic, visit his shop), and it seems to be the most time proven and user friendly option so far 
While I wait for that mount to arrive (being Euro and all) I was already trying out other options that don’t require any machining etc.
I figured I’d share some concepts/try-outs and create a topic where we can share the options that are out there. As it’s good to have options
Picatinny rail:
First thing I tried was this airsoft rear sight rail. By the looks of it, it could fit in the slot of the rear sight. And it does (sort of):
By removing a bit of material it fits nicely into the rear sight slot.
The second fixing hole can be used to insert the original short screw and a tiny nut with some spacers (exactly fitting the sight slot) to keep the mount aligned.
With a screw a, little longer than the original rear sight screw, it’s easily mounted.
This airsoft rail is polymer, so you can really tighten it down. But there is also a alu version available.
I think with some more attention (cleaner sanding, better spacers etc) this mount could work. But it’s fixed with just the one screw and I have no idea if this will hold, but hey: it’s a start
RMR Plate:
I used the mounting plate from a ‘RMR off-set mount’ like this.
Again using the fixing hole for the rear sight, with a second screw and a random nut (made to fit the slot) to keep it aligned.
Also fixed by just the one screw, but this seems to be rock solid. I’ll be using this option with a holsun red dot and see if it sticks
Another idea based on these:
Maybe someone can CNC a mount like this, that fits right into the rear sight slot, and also utilize the push-through pin of the original sight. So it’s fixed in 2 places.
Just an idea, I’d buy it
I have no clue if the single screw will be enough to hold the mount in place. I have yet to test it with a complete shooting session.
So as always: try at your own risk
Looking forward to see other options!

120+ shots and still in place.
