Arsenal Inc. Scope Mount with Picatinny rail for AK Variants & Vepr with folding stock aluminum 19 slots - SM-23

Upgrade your AK-pattern rifle with the Arsenal Inc. SM-23 Scope Mount, a precision-engineered solution for mounting optics on AK variants and Vepr rifles equipped with folding stocks. This second-generation mount delivers rock-solid stability and repeatable zero retention, solving the common challenge of maintaining optic alignment on side-railed Kalashnikov platforms.

Key Features

• One-piece aircraft-grade aluminum construction with hard anodized finish for exceptional strength, lightweight durability, and corrosion resistance.
• 19-slot Picatinny rail spanning over 7.5 inches, allowing flexible positioning for optics, lasers, or multiple accessories while maintaining optimal eye relief.
• Side-rail clamping system with steel adjustable locking mechanism and tension-adjustable quick-release lever for secure attachment and easy removal without losing zero.
• Low-profile design with relief cuts that preserve iron sight usability and lightening cuts to reduce weight to just 5.43 ounces.
• Universal compatibility with most AK variants featuring side rails, including Vepr and RPK models with folding stocks, thanks to strategic cut-outs for smooth installation.

Benefits for AK Enthusiasts

Traditional top-cover or gas-tube mounts often shift or fail to hold zero under recoil. The SM-23 mounts directly to the rifle’s stable side rail, providing a dependable platform that withstands rigorous use in tactical, competitive, or recreational shooting. Its quick-release feature simplifies field maintenance or optic swaps, while the extended rail maximizes versatility without compromising the rifle’s balance or handling.
