Product Spotlight: Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series

Here's some great news from Waukesha, Wisconsin, home of Midwest Industries. MI's new AK Alpha Series of upgrades help you take your AK / Kalashnikov pattern rifle to a new level of comfort, control, and versatility. Forget everything you know about the AK-47 platform being "basic but reliable." With AK Alpha upgrades, ditch the "basic" and put "ultra" in front of "reliable." Alpha components will give your AK advanced capabilities and features that will be the envy of the most dedicated AR-15 fans!

 

The AK Alpha Gen2 Handguard provides a rock-solid accessory-mounting platform, with an M1913 Picatinny rail on top and multiple rows of M-LOK® slots on the sides. Inside there's an AR-15 type heat shield to protect your hand from the hot barrel during long range sessions. Available in lengths and configurations to fit a variety of AK variants.

 

Offering a solid platform for a red dot sight, the AK Alpha Optic Mount lets you retain your rifle's factory rear sight as a backup with lower 1/3 co-witness through the red dot. It's available in separate versions for optics that fit Picatinny mounts or the Aimpoint T2 footprint. For the ultimate in optic-mounting stability, go with the complete AK Alpha Railed Top Cover, which clamps solidly to the rifle at four attachment points to eliminate any shifting of the mount and ensure your optic stays perfectly zeroed.

 

The AK Alpha Folding Stock attaches securely to an M1913 Picatinny stock mount and easily adjusts to one of FIVE length-of-pull positions with the quick press of a button. There's a height-adjustable cheek rest, and the rubber recoil pad is adjustable for height as well so you can shoulder the rifle with perfect comfort.

 

Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series components are all 100% Made in the USA, meaning they each one counts as a 922r-compliant part (under 18 USC §922(r)).
