AK Scope Mounts & Optic Mounts – Rock-Solid Mounting for Your AK-47
Mounting optics on an AK doesn’t have to be a compromise. At Mounts Plus, we carry a wide selection of AK scope mounts and AK optic mounts engineered for rugged reliability, repeatable zero, and compatibility with most AK platforms—including AK-47, AKM, Saiga, and other variants.
Whether you're running a red dot, magnifier, or LPVO, our mounts are built to handle the recoil and geometry of AK rifles while offering rock-solid lock-up and consistent accuracy.

🧠 FAQs – AK Scope & Optic Mounts
Q: What’s the best way to mount a scope on an AK-47?
A: The most secure and common method is using a side rail scope mount, especially on AKs with factory rails. For optics requiring co-witness or low height, top cover or gas tube mounts are a great option.
Q: Will these mounts hold zero under AK recoil?
A: Yes. All our mounts are tested to handle 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm recoil and offer consistent return-to-zero performance when properly installed.
Q: Can I co-witness a red dot with iron sights on my AK?
A: Some mounts (especially gas tube and lower-profile top cover rails) allow for lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness, depending on optic height.
Q: Are these mounts compatible with LPVOs or magnifiers?
A: Yes. Any mount with a Picatinny or 1913 rail can support LPVOs or magnifiers, provided there's enough eye relief and mounting space.
