The UTG Pro Quick-Detach AK Side Mount brings modern optics-mounting flexibility to AK-pattern rifles without permanent modification. If you run an AK or one of its many variants and want to add a quality scope, red dot, or other optic while preserving your rifle's original character, this quick-detachable side rail offers a proven platform that works with most AK configurations. The tool-free QD design means you can mount and remove your optics in seconds—useful whether you're switching between a dedicated hunting setup and one optimized for the range, or simply maintaining your rifle for long-term storage.
UTG Pro side mounts have earned respect among AK shooters for solid engineering and repeatability. This mount seats on the rifle's side rail and holds zero through repeated QD cycles, which matters when you depend on precision. The 16-slot Picatinny top rail gives you genuine flexibility: you can position almost any standard optic—from compact red dots to full-sized scopes—exactly where you need it for your shooting style and sight picture. The U-notch milled into the top rail preserves the use of your AK's iron sights, so even if your optic fails or the battery dies, you're not dead in the water.
Installation is straightforward on any AK variant equipped with a side rail. Compatibility varies slightly between rifle models—some older or non-standard builds may require fitting—so verify your specific AK pattern before ordering. Once mounted, the quick-detach mechanism is robust and repeatable, and the whole assembly stays put when you need it to.

Yes. The U-notch milled into the top rail allows your AK's iron sights to co-witness with mounted optics, so you maintain a backup aiming system even with a scope or red dot installed.
Any standard optic with a Picatinny-compatible mount can be used—red dots, magnified scopes, prism sights, and more. The 16 slots give you flexibility in positioning the optic to suit your mounting height preference and sight picture.
