Description
Midwest Gen 2 Mount Overview
The midwest gen 2 mount gives AK-47/AK-74 shooters a modular, quick-detach Picatinny rail system designed for precision and repeatable zero. Built for rifles with side-rail receivers, it delivers a dependable upgrade for mounting optics.
Rugged Construction & Fast Detach System
Midwest Industries machines this mount from 6061-T6 aluminum and applies a hard-coat anodized finish. As a result, it remains lightweight at only 7.4 oz while maintaining strength under recoil. Moreover, the Elite Defense QD lever allows shooters to install or remove the rail quickly without tools. Therefore, you can swap optics in the field with confidence while keeping your zero.
Centered Optic Placement for Accuracy
The design positions optics directly over the center of the receiver. Consequently, shooters maintain a proper sight axis, which enhances accuracy and consistency. In addition, the mount includes a modular top section, allowing future upgrades for ACOG, Aimpoint, or other dedicated optic interfaces. For example, you can start with a Picatinny setup and later swap to an ACOG-specific upper without replacing the entire system.
