Looking for a simple red dot set up for my AK. I'd prefer something that will let me still use the iron sights, and if possible keep the original wood furniture intact.

I've been looking at this side mount: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/990...nt-ak-47-matte
What do I need to check to be sure that it's compatible with my rifle (Nodak Spud receiver)?

And any suggestions on a basic, reasonably priced red dot? These seem well reviewed on Amazon, but I have no experience with them:
