Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series Steel Picatinny Red Dot Mount - Black

The Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series Steel Picatinny Red Dot Mount is a dedicated optic mount built specifically for the MI AK Alpha Series handguard platform. If you're running an AK with an Alpha Series handguard and want to mount a Picatinny-pattern red dot or optic, this mount delivers the kind of rigid, repeatable performance that keeps your zero locked in through hard use. It's engineered to work exclusively with MI-AK-ALPHA6 and MI-AK-ALPHA10.0 handguards—that specialized design is exactly what makes it so solid.

The mount uses a hybrid construction of aluminum and steel to maximize both strength and reliability. You get two hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum components paired with laser-cut 4140 steel struts, creating four points of contact with your handguard for maximum rigidity. That 4-point attachment system is what separates this from flimsier universal mounts; it's designed to take the punishment of rapid fire and maintain repeatability when it matters. The steel elements give you the durability hunters and serious shooters expect, while the aluminum keeps weight down—a detail that adds up across the rifle.

The mount maintains your factory rear sight in a lower 1/3 cowitness position, so you keep your backup iron sights in play. The MI-AK-ALPHA-T2M variant is available for Aimpoint T2 pattern optics, giving you flexibility in sight selection. Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty, this is a mount that's built to outlast the rifle.
