The Magpul MAG445-BLK AK Cheek Riser delivers precise sight alignment for AK platform rifles equipped with optics. This 0.25-inch polymer riser eliminates the common problem of inadequate cheek weld when mounting scopes or red dots on standard AK stocks.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic foam pads or tape solutions, this purpose-built cheek riser integrates seamlessly with Magpul AK stocks using a secure mechanical attachment system. The 0.25-inch height specification provides optimal eye relief for most popular optic configurations without over-raising the shooter's head position. Construction from reinforced polymer ensures consistent performance under recoil while maintaining the lightweight characteristics AK users demand.
Key Features
- Precise 0.25-inch height increase for proper scope alignment
- Direct compatibility with Magpul AK Zhukov-S and MOE AK stocks
- Reinforced polymer construction resists impact and weather
- Textured surface provides secure cheek contact
- Tool-free installation with integrated mounting hardware
- Low-profile design maintains stock's original handling characteristics
- Matte black finish matches standard Magpul color schemes
Field testing demonstrates improved consistency when transitioning between iron sights and mounted optics. The riser maintains zero stability during rapid fire sequences and temperature variations common in outdoor environments. Hunters report faster target acquisition when using variable power scopes, while competitive shooters benefit from repeatable cheek placement shot after shot.
