The UTG Pro Quick-Detachable AK Side Mount (brand part number MTU016) is a black Picatinny side mount built to fit most AK rifles and variants with a side dovetail rail. UTG Pro equips this mount with an ergonomic lever for quick lock and release along with full adjustability, so the mount can be dialed in and removed without tools once it’s set. A U-cut on top of the mount leaves the rifle’s iron sights usable for a see-through application, while the 16-slot top rail and detachable 6-slot Picatinny side rail give flexible options for optics, lights, or lasers. Made in the USA, it’s built for reliable zero retention across repeated mounting and removal cycles.
