There are a few good ones and they'll walk you through it. Be sure that you know if you have a stamped or milled receiver AK as that will change how you install it. If it's stamped, you can simply use the screws and nuts with a bit of loctite. If it's milled, you're going to want to drill and tap the receiver, Some people opt to use rivets like the rest of the receiver but I didn't do that so I can't help with that. I used a 9/64" drill bit for my stamped AK. I also measured and remeasured before doing any drilling. The rail should align with the top of your receiver but 1cm down. This dovetail fits both the UTG brand side rail and TufForce Adjustable rail great. I started with the UTG rail, which was constructed great and was very sturdy, but it sat too far to the right. I returned it and now have the TufForce on because of the adjustability. Review: Great Ak Side Plate - I had purchased this to attach onto my Mosin Nagant 9130, since i love the Ak style mounting system. It was machined well with a good finish. People complain about UTG making rough equipment, but i would have to disagree. It does not come with bolts, or any instructions, but if you are going to be buying this, then you should have a planned out how to attach it. Anyways, i later on pre-drilled the holes, and tapped them, and put on the bolts (get them at Ace Hardware). I had to also weld a small piece of metal, about 1/4 wide, and 1.5 in long in order to support it on the Mosin's receiver. After i completed it all, i secured the bolts with some Loctite glue, and i was finished. The side plate still works great, it hasn't bent in anyway, and it holds on alot better than the original P/U Nagant scope mount. Over all this, is a great Side Plate for the buck. ## Features - Optimized to fit both milled or stamped receivers - Durable Steel Construction Finished in Matte Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002GO5WG0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #190,869 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #275 in Airsoft Gun Scope Mounts | | Brand Name | UTG | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (566) | | Date First Available | July 8, 2009 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 5.94 x 2.76 x 0.39 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 7.05 x 2.76 x 0.35 inches | | Manufacturer | UTG | | Material | Other | | Model Name | AK47 Steel Dovetail Side Plate | | Model Year | 2013 | | Package Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Part Number | TL-M47SR | | Sport Type | Hunting | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | ## Images ![Steel Side Rail - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CbMTK36IL.jpg) ![Steel Side Rail - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rp5iFL3lL.jpg) ![Steel Side Rail - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vinKMDcoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this plate work with a polish akm that has a 1mm stamped receiver?** A: It works on my zastava pap rifle and it has a 1.5 mm receiver. So i say yes but i had a gunsmith put mine on he had to drill some holes for me. **Q: Compatible for Smithy to install on Norinco AK-47 Underfolder?** A: this will fit on underfolder just installed one - make sure to mount it low as possible - problem is the mount - I bought the UTG (QD) mount the rail and mount are designed to be slid on from rear to front and the large button on the underfolder keeps you from sliding the mount on the rail ------ so now I have a nice rail that is useless except to hide the damn holes I drilled into my AK **Q: will this work with AIM sports AK double rail side mount quick release lever ?** A: It should. You may have to adjust the release for proper fit. **Q: Will this work on pioneer hellpup?** A: Yes - it works on all Polish Radom new and rebuilt STAMPED receivers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy instal and works great *by M***H on April 3, 2016* This is extremely easy to install and works great.

It was a pain to drill and tap my AK but this has been a worthwhile upgrade. I just drilled through and bolted it on with some blue threadlocker. Works well. Looks a little redneck but oh well. ## Frequently Bought Together - UTG Steel Side Rail - WINFREE Rear Sight Rail Scope Mount Standard Scope Base 1913 Picatinny Rail for Low Profile Red Dot Optics - Bravary Side Scope Mount - Quick Detach Scope Mount Side Picatinny Rail Mount for Red Dot Sights Scopes - 20mm Standard Rail Mount --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2733483-steel-side-rail](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2733483-steel-side-rail) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
