AK-47 Sights – Upgrade Your Aim, Keep the Rifle’s Soul

The AK platform is rugged. Reliable. Timeless. But let’s be real—stock AK-47 sights kind of suck. Whether you’re running a WASR, a Zastava, or an Arsenal, upgrading your AK sight system can make a world of difference in how fast and accurately you shoot.

At Mounts Plus, we carry a handpicked lineup of AK-47 sights, from precision rear leaf upgrades to rugged red dots, fiber optics, ghost rings, and co-witness-capable options.


🔧 Iron Sights That Don’t Suck

Still want that classic look—but with better function? We’ve got options like:

  • Adjustable rear leaf sights – Cleaner sight picture, better elevation control

  • Fiber optic front sight posts – Brighter visibility, faster on target

  • Tritium night sights for AK – Low light? No problem

  • Ghost ring AK sights – Bigger aperture, quicker acquisition

  • Precision peep sights – Great for bench and zeroing

These drop right into standard AK sight blocks with minimal fuss. Whether you’re tuning a Romanian WASR or an AKM parts kit, you’re covered.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – AK-47 Sights

Can you mount a red dot on an AK-47?
Yes—if your AK has a side rail, you can use a dedicated optic mount. For non-railed AKs, gas tube or dust cover mounts like those from UltiMAK or Texas Weapon Systems are solid choices.

What are the best AK iron sights?
It depends on your setup. Ghost rings and fiber optics are popular for fast shooting, while peep sights and upgraded rear leafs help with precision.

Will these sights work on an AK-74?
Most sights listed here are compatible with both AK-47 and AK-74 pattern rifles—just double-check mounting specs before buying.

Do I need a gunsmith to install AK sights?
In most cases, no. Many AK sights are drop-in or screw-in replacements. However, some front sight posts may require a sight tool or minor fitting.

What’s the best optic mount for an AK?
Side rail mounts like the Midwest Industries AK mount are rock-solid. Top cover systems like TWS are great for co-witness setups. It depends on whether you value quick detach or low bore height.
