Arsenal, Inc. AK Variant Rifle Scope Mount with Picatinny Rail - Matte Finish

The Arsenal, Inc. AK Variant Rifle Scope Mount with Picatinny Rail gives you a rock-solid platform for mounting optics on your AK-pattern rifle. Built with the lessons learned from military service, this side-mounting design attaches directly to the rifle's side scope rail—the most stable mounting point available on an AK platform—rather than relying on the top cover or gas tube. That stability matters when you're dialing in shots at distance or need your zero to survive hard use in the field.

This is a low-profile mount that doesn't force you to choose between a scope and your backup iron sights. The Picatinny rail runs over 7.5 inches along the rifle's top, with relief cuts designed to keep your iron sights functional even with the mount installed. That flexibility is especially valuable on a rifle you depend on. The mount is CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, keeping weight to just 5.76 ounces while maintaining the strength needed for reliable performance. The matte finish resists glare and blends with most rifle finishes.

Tension adjustment is built into the design, letting you attach or swap optics quickly without tools while maintaining a tight, repeatable fit. The one-piece construction means no loose parts or secondary components to rattle or fail. Whether you're running a hunting rifle, a tactical build, or a general-purpose AK, this mount gives you the foundation for a dependable optics setup that actually stays put.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this mount with my iron sights?

Yes. The low-profile design and relief cuts along the rail are engineered to preserve iron sight functionality even when the scope mount is installed. You can keep both optics and backup iron sights in service on the same rifle.

What AK rifles is this mount compatible with?

This mount is designed for AK-variant rifles with a side scope rail. It attaches to the rifle's side scope rail, which is the standard mounting platform on most modern AK-pattern rifles.

How do I attach and detach optics?

The tension-adjustable steel locking mechanism allows you to attach and detach optics without tools. Simply adjust the tension and insert or remove your optic—no special tools or additional setup required for quick swaps.

Why side-mount instead of top-mounting?

The side scope rail is a more stable and rigid mounting platform than the top cover or gas tube. Attaching here keeps your zero more reliable and repeatable, especially during extended use or in demanding conditions.
