Insanely easy - GG&G AK Quick Detach Scope Mount

I have an American made IO AK-47. It comes with rails on the front but those are waaaaaaaaay far away from where my cheek is resting. Enter the AK Quick Detach Scope Mount. So here's the instructions: lift up the lever (some adjustment may be required using the included hex wrench). Place on the side and line up where you want (it slides on). Close the lever. Done. If you've adjusted it right, it's locked into place and isn't going to move. Now you have a rail in a much better spot. Attach optic of choice and you're set.

This hunk of metal may seem a bit pricey (although there are constant coupon codes for Optics Planet so you shouldn't have to pay full price, I sure didn't), but it's absolutely worth it. And let's be serious: it looks awesome. Functional and awesome in one package makes it a must have.

Please note: Since the iron sights of an AK-47 are low profile, you probably aren't going to get an absolute cowitness setup using this. The nice thing is, lift the lever and pull it off and you've got your iron sights (provided you properly sighted them in, otherwise, well, good luck). So even if your optic does not have quick detach, the rail itself does. Get ready to dress up that AK!
