Best Scope Mounts For AK Rifles

The Top 5 Scope Mounts For The AK-47 / AKM

Parts compatibility among AK rifles is less consistent than with other shooting platform, particularly between Yugoslavian models and other Eastern Bloc variants. Consequently, mounting an optic is seldom as simple as swapping the factory receiver cover for one with an integral rail system. Scope mounts offer a convenient and affordable solution for attaching a scope to your favorite AK-47 or AKM, regardless of the country of origin.
