AK Red Dot Sights – Fast. Reliable. Purpose-Built for the AK Platform.

The AK was never designed with optics in mind. But today’s red dot technology lets you push this battle rifle into the modern age—without losing that legendary durability.

We stock a curated lineup of red dot sights and mounting solutions that actually work on AKs—from side-rail setups and top cover mounts to low-profile micro red dots for gas tube systems. Whether you’re running a WASR-10, Zastava ZPAP, PSAK-47, or a custom build, we’ve got you covered.


🔴 AK Red Dot Sights That Just Work

This isn’t about gimmicks or airsoft-tier gear. These optics are chosen for shooters who need:

  • Fast target acquisition at close range

  • Rock-solid zero retention under 7.62 recoil

  • Mounting options for side rails, top covers, and gas blocks

  • Co-witness capability with factory or backup irons

  • Lightweight design that won’t mess up your balance

We carry brands like Holosun, Trijicon, Aimpoint, and Primary Arms—known for battle-proven performance. Whether you're mounting to a Midwest Industries side rail, an UltiMAK gas tube, or a Texas Weapon Systems top cover, you'll find optics that match.


🔧 Which Mount Do You Need?

  • Side Rail Mounts: If your AK has a left-side rail, you can run QD mounts from RS Regulate or Midwest Industries that hold zero and return to it.

  • Gas Tube Mounts: Use UltiMAK or similar setups for a super-low mount. Perfect for co-witnessing with micro dots.

  • Top Cover Mounts: Go with options like the TWS Dog Leg if you want a sleek, modern look and full-length top rail.


⚙️ Compatible With:

  • AKM-style stamped receivers (WASR, PSAK-47, Riley Defense, etc.)

  • Zastava ZPAP M70 (with select mounts)

  • AK-74 and 5.45x39 platforms

  • Saiga and VEPR rifles (mount-specific)

  • Check each optic/mount listing for exact fitment before ordering

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – AK Red Dot Sights

Can I put a red dot on an AK-47 without a side rail?
Yes. You can use gas tube mounts (like UltiMAK) or top cover rails (like Texas Weapon Systems). They don’t require permanent modification and hold zero well if installed correctly.

What’s the best red dot for an AK-47?
It depends on your setup and budget. Holosun 403/503 series offer great value. Trijicon MRO and Aimpoint PRO are bombproof. Micro dots work great for co-witnessing.

Will these red dots co-witness with iron sights?
Yes—if you use a low-mount option like a gas tube rail or TWS Dog Leg. Not all setups allow for full co-witness, so check product specs.

Do red dots hold zero on an AK?
With a quality mount and optic—absolutely. Side rail and gas tube mounts from Midwest Industries and UltiMAK are proven to hold zero under hard use.

Can I use these red dots on a Zastava or Yugo AK?
Some will work with the right adapter, but Yugo-pattern rifles often require unique mounts. Check for compatibility with your rifle’s receiver and rail type.
