CK-3
5.56x45 - Poland - Beryl / Mini Beryl






Special thanks to Piotr Bojanowski of Poznan for assisting with information for this page.


After the failure of the CK-1, PCO continued development on collimator sights. This would result in the CK-2 prototype and in turn the CK-3 which would be tested and eventually adopted along side the Beryl and Mini Beryl rifles. While the CK-3 was adopted it does not appear that many orders were placed by the Polish army, and the sight saw only limited service.

A 2.5x magnifier that could be attached to the CK-3 was also developed. Like the LD-4 scope the CK-3 was intended to mount to the POPC-1 rail, with the rail being used to zero the sight to the rifle. On top of the CK-3 was a single BDC dial used to adjust the point of aim between 100m and 600m (Polish Ministry of Defense, 2005).

PCO would reuse the CK-3 name in the 2010s for a new red dot sight of a new design.
