Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series Steel Picatinny Red Dot Mount - Black$159.95
Availability: In Stock
The Midwest Industries Mi Alpha Mini Dot Mount is a Picatinny rail-mounted solution designed to bring red dot optics to AK platforms without permanent modification to your rifle. Built for shooters who want to run modern optics on stamped or milled AK-47 and AK-74 rifles while retaining the ability to reinstall factory sights, this mount replaces the rear sight leaf with a rigid aluminum platform that accepts any optic with a standard Picatinny footprint.
What sets the Mi Alpha apart is its thoughtful engineering: a built-in iron sight lets you run lower-1/3 cowitness with most red dots, giving you backup aiming capability without removing your optic. The steel locking blocks minimize side-to-side play, and the hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum construction handles the abuse AK shooters dish out. Full field stripping remains possible with standard AKM-pattern rifles, so you're not locked into a permanent setup.
Installation does require some basic hand tools (small hammer, punches, Torx wrenches, and Allen keys) and minor fitting—this isn't a drop-in-and-done mount. But that's the tradeoff for a reversible system that respects the original rifle design. Made in the USA with a patent-pending design, it's the kind of straightforward solution that appeal to AK users who refuse to mill their receiver just to run a dot.
