This Arsenal side-attaching scope mount (brand part number SM-13) clamps to the side rail of an AK-pattern rifle and delivers a 7.625-inch low-profile Picatinny top rail for mounting optics without permanent modification. Machined as a single piece from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, it’s built with tension-adjustable clamping tested to hold zero in tough conditions, and finished in black gloss to match most AK builds. A relief cut along the rail keeps the rifle’s iron sights usable even with the mount installed, so shooters aren’t forced to choose between optics and irons.
