Leapers MTUAK01 Quick-Detachable AK Side Mount Matte Black Anodized Aluminum 6.69" Long
The Leapers MTUAK01 quick-detachable AK side mount gives you a proven way to attach optics and accessories to AK-pattern rifles without permanent modification. Built from matte black anodized aluminum, this 6.69-inch mount clamps securely to the AK receiver's side rail—a standard feature on most modern AK builds—and locks in fast thanks to its quick-detach design. Whether you're running a red dot, magnified optic, or even secondary iron sights, this mount handles the job with the durability Leapers is known for.
The quick-detach mechanism means you can remove your optic or accessory in seconds and reinstall it in the same zero, a huge convenience for hunters switching between close-range and distance hunting, or shooters rotating gear between different guns. The aluminum construction keeps weight to a minimum while resisting corrosion—important if you're taking your AK into the field or on extended hunting trips.
If you've got an AK with a side rail and want to modernize your sight picture without welding or permanent gunsmithing, this mount is a straightforward, repeatable solution that works with a wide range of optics and accessories designed for Picatinny or Weaver mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work on my AK?
The Leapers MTUAK01 is designed for AK-pattern rifles equipped with a side rail receiver. Check that your AK has a receiver-mounted rail on the left or right side; this mount clamps to that rail. Not all AK variants have this feature, so verify your rifle's configuration first.
Can I remove the optic and remount it in the same zero?
Yes—the quick-detach mechanism is designed to allow removal and reinstallation of your optic or accessory while maintaining zero, provided you don't change mounting hardware or radically shift the clamp pressure.
What accessories can I attach to this mount?
Any optic, sight, or accessory with a Picatinny or Weaver rail interface can be mounted on top of this unit. Common choices include red dot sights, 1x or magnified rifle scopes, and backup iron sights.
