Midwest Industries Alpha Mini Dot Mount Features The Midwest Industries Alpha Mini Dot Mount solves one of the most common frustrations on AK pattern rifles giving shooters a simple way to mount a red dot optic without cutting welding or permanently altering the receiver. It attaches directly to the existing AK47 or AK74 rear sight location and works on both stamped and milled receivers covering the overwhelming majority of AK platforms in circulation. Steel locking blocks inside the mount s design create a rigid interface that minimizes side to side play a critical factor for keeping a red dot zeroed under recoil. Because the mount accepts both Picatinny rail accessories and T2 footprint optics shooters have flexibility in choosing the red dot that fits their budget and preferences. A built-in iron sight on the mount allows a lower 1/3 cowitness with most red dots giving the shooter a functional backup sighting system without needing to install separate back-up irons. Since no permanent modification is made to the rifle the factory rear sight can be reinstalled at any time if the owner wants to return the rifle to its original configuration. The mount still permits full field stripping on standard AKM pattern rifles so normal maintenance and cleaning are unaffected by its installation. Machined from hard coat anodized 6061 aluminum and made in the USA the Alpha Mini Dot Mount gives AK owners a durable reversible path to modern optics.
