Scope Mount for AK Variant Rifles Including VEPR with Picatinny Rail, Plum

Description

The Arsenal SM-23P Scope Mount is the second-generation scope mount, designed to be lighter, stronger, and more versatile. It’s engineered with cutouts on the front to reduce weight, and the back is designed to slide smoothly into place, making placement easier and quicker. These changes also allow use on VEPR rifles, including RPKs.

The SM-23P is the ultimate optic mounting solution for AK-pattern rifles, designed for precision, stability, and durability. Born out of a military requirement, the SM-23P is machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum and hard anodized for maximum strength and wear resistance. It features a 19-slot Picatinny rail that extends over 7.5 inches—allowing multiple devices to be mounted simultaneously or a single optic to be positioned for optimal eye relief. Each SM-23P is engraved with Arsenal’s CAGE code as part of our U.S. Defense Department contractual relationship.

Its low-profile design follows the rifle’s contours for a secure, tight grip, while the relief cut along the rail ensures that iron sights remain usable even when the mount is attached. Unlike mounts that rely on unstable top covers or gas tubes, the SM-23P secures directly to the AK’s side scope rail—the most stable mounting platform available.

The steel adjustable locking mechanism with a tension-adjustable quick-release system provides a rock-solid hold, ensuring repeatable zero retention even after removal and reinstallation.

With its rugged construction, precision engineering, and hard-anodized finish, the Arsenal SM-23P Scope Mount is the go-to choice for professionals, competitors, and AK enthusiasts who demand unmatched strength, reliability, and functionality.
