Midwest Industries AK Picatinny End Plate Adapter – 4.5mm
If you’re upgrading your AK to a modern setup, the Midwest Industries AK Picatinny End Plate Adapter (4.5mm) is the foundation you need. Designed for factory 4.5mm folding trunnions, it gives your rifle a precision-machined 1913 Picatinny rail interface, allowing you to mount your favorite fixed or folding stocks and braces with confidence.
Built in the USA from 6061 hardcoat anodized aluminum, this adapter is all about strength, simplicity, and perfect fitment. It turns your traditional AK into a flexible, modular platform while keeping that solid Midwest Industries reliability shooters have trusted for decades.
Why Choose the 4.5mm Version
Not all adapters are created equal. The 4.5mm version is built specifically for AKs that use smaller trunnion pins — common on Arsenal, PSA, and Bulgarian-pattern rifles. That precision ensures a snug, wobble-free fit and proper alignment of your folding mechanism.
If you’ve ever dealt with an adapter that doesn’t line up right or feels loose, this eliminates that problem entirely. The engineering tolerances are tight, the lock-up is firm, and the installation is straightforward.
