<\/p>\n

The Arsenal SM-23 Scope Mount is the second-generation scope mount, designed to be lighter, stronger, and more versatile. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0The SM-23 is the ultimate optic mounting solution for AK-pattern rifles, designed for precision, stability, and durability. Born out of a military requirement, the SM-23 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\u2014allowing multiple devices to be mounted simultaneously or a single optic to be positioned for optimal eye relief. Each SM-23 is engraved with Arsenal\u2019s CAGE code as part of our U.S. Defense Department contractual relationship.<\/p>\n

Available in Black<\/a>, Plum<\/a>, and OD Green<\/a>.<\/p>\n
