This is a used MI AKM side optic mount with a T1 footprint top rail. Its light and tough. It has some character from use, being on a slung rifle it has some scratches from gear and magazines..... If you use you gear, this is normal! The best way to put a red dot on an AK without modification and without using a railed gas tube which is the absolute worse way for obvious reasons, plus it just looks amateur. We all know that looking good is a must! "form over function and function with form"!
