Alpha AK Railed Cover Overview
The alpha ak railed cover from Midwest Industries provides AK owners with a rugged, optics-ready dust cover. Built for AKM-pattern rifles equipped with Alpha-series handguards, it delivers a secure platform for mounting red dots or scopes while still protecting the rifle’s action from dirt and debris.
Reinforced, Rigid Construction
This cover is engineered from hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum and reinforced with 4140 steel struts for maximum durability. As a result, it locks firmly into place and resists flex under recoil, ensuring optics stay zeroed even during heavy use. Furthermore, the slim, snag-free profile makes it practical for both competition and field carry.
Simple, Reversible Installation
Installation requires no permanent modification or specialized tools. For example, the kit includes a recoil spring button and adjustable locking block, allowing a straightforward swap with your factory cover. Moreover, the design retains your factory rear sight and provides a lower 1/3 co-witness with many optics. Therefore, you gain modern functionality without sacrificing the rifle’s original features.

Why It Stands Out
