The Eylar XXXL hard case can fit 3 AK-47s and is ideal for storage or travel.

#2 Plano All Weather Tactical Gun Case

Another great hard case for your AK-47 is this American-made Plano all-weather tactical hard case.

Not having the dense foam pre-cutout shapes shaves about $100 bucks off the price but it will get the job done if you’re on a budget and need a weather-proof hard case.

#3 Cedar Mill Hard Rifle Case 48″ x 9″

This next hard case is another excellent option made by Cedar Mill. We have a few of these cases and they are some of the most heavy-duty cases you can buy for AK-47 transport.

In our opinion, this is a suitable case for extended, environment-controlled, storage and quick trips to the range on fair weather days that should provide excellent drop protection with its sturdy outer plastic shell and strong metal locking clasps.

• UNLIMITED CONFIGURATION: Iron Clasp Cam Latch foam is easy to configure for a perfect and snug fit.
• 4-PIECE SET: 2 Pick and Pluck – 1 Egg Crate – 1 Flat Foam.
• IMPACT PROTECTION: Iron Clasp Cam Latch foam is made of quality materials to protect it from impacts and scratches.

The features of this Cedar Hill hard case are impressive for the price.

AK-47 Soft Cases

Soft cases are great for when you need to carry up to 2 rifles with lots of magazines, ammo, and other accessories that are mounted on your AK-47 without having to remove them.

#1 Savior Equipment Tactical Double Long Rifle Bag

The Savior brand makes a great quality for-the-money soft case that provides some protection from the elements but is not meant to be waterproof.

They are great for fair-weather range sessions where you want to stuff as much gear as possible into one bag.

I own one of these cases and I love its looks and performance. The zipper feels high-quality and won’t get stuck like cheaper zippers often do.

There a quite a few colors and camo patterns to choose from in 2024!

#2 DSLEAF 36” 2-Rifle Soft Case/ Padded Backpack

This awesome soft case can be worn like a backpack and will hold up to two decked-out rifles of your choosing inside its padded interior with velcro straps to keep them secure.

#1 LThyzszb Slip-On Recoil Reducing Rubber Pad

This Amazon-exclusive brand makes a pretty awesome recoil pad that will fit great on the wood stock of your AK-47.

The added comfort while shooting an over-gassed AK is well worth the price in our opinion.

This will save you from getting a sore shoulder after a long day at the range and the added grip will keep your AK-47 from moving under fire.

#2 Leapers UTG AK47 Combat Butt Pad

AK-47 Cleaning Kits

Taking time to clean your AK-47 after each range trip will prolong the life of your AK and keep it happy!

AKs generally run just fine dirty but ammo with corrosive primers will quickly rust out the nitrided barrel on a lot of US-made AK-47 rifles.

These cleaning kits will keep things running smooth and prevent rust formation.

Here’s a tidy little cleaning kit from Real Avid designed to work with your AK-47 to keep it running smoothly and trouble-free.

It does fit right in the hole in the butt stock.Be sure to put the end with the threaded hole sticking back, use the cleaning rod on your AK to retrieve the toll kit from the stock.

Every new AK-47 owner should have cleaning solvents, gun oil, and grease to ensure the functionality of your AK is at its best.

This small kit by Breakthrough includes everything you’ll need to get the job done!

AK 47 Scope Mounts

Most newly manufactured AK-47 rifles come with a side scope rail riveted onto the left side. Scope mounts are a must-have accessory for your AK-47 if you plan on adding an optic to your AK but don’t want to use tactical furniture with Picatinny rails.

They are by far the most secure method of quickly attaching a heavy scope. These side-rail mounts are easy to mount and take off for storage and should hold zero once sighted in.

#1 Midwest Industries AK-47 Aluminum Akg2 Side Mount

Looking for a high-quality side mount for your optic? Here’s a sick universal quick-detach side mount offering from Midwest Industries selling for a fair price on Brownells.

Note: There are several optic rail options to choose from in the drop-down box on Brownells.

This side mount for optics has a forward bias and is great for mounting red dot sights on your AK-47.

On a budget but want a decent side rail mount for a scope or red dot to use on your AK-47? This no-name Chinese mount does a decent job cloning one of Midwest Industries’ designs for less than half the price!

We doubt it’s as robust as more expensive options, but it may do in a pinch and seems to get mostly positive reviews on Amazon. Plus, the price was recently reduced by 10 bucks!

AK-47 Shooting Gloves

AKs can get hot when using some aftermarket handguards, especially after a mag dump or two! We always carry a pair of shooting gloves in our kit to keep our hands warm in the winter and to protect our hands from sharp pic-rails and hot muzzles!

Shooting gloves will also give you a better purchase on the grip if your hands get sweaty. These are some of our most recommended shooting gloves.

This competition shooting glove was designed for maximum dexterity and breathability.

It also features Accordion Flex points in the fingers and vented palms. 

AK-47 Ear & Eye Protection

Ear and Eye protection is an absolute must when shooting your AK-47. We found a few that we recommend that have served us well.

We own several of these Walker’s Razors and it is our absolute favorite electronic ear pro that won’t break the bank and comes in lots of color options to match your tastes.

Shooting your AK-47 requires good ear protection and this electronic ear pro offers automatic noise canceling around loud noises but allows you to hear everything in between shots, which is nice compared to standard ear muffs that muffle all sound in your environment.

The Gel Earpad replacement pads below are the most comfortable upgrades for long shooting sessions:

These Pro Ears behind-the-head band electronic ear protection is the perfect solution when you can’t use the typical bulk of conventional ear muffs.

Protect your eyes from stray shells, dirt, dust, and debris while shooting your AK-47 indoors or outdoors.

AK-47 Bench Mats

Having a diagrammed cleaning mat for your workbench will aid you in disassembling your AK-47 when cleaning, upgrading, or changing parts.

Everyone should have one for each type of firearm they own.

Getting a cleaning and disassembly bench mat with a sweetly detailed part schematic of the AK-47 Kalashnikov is a must-have for any AK-47 owner!

Step things up another level over those basic TekMats and switch out the smooth surface with a rubberized texture, add compartments, and magnets to hold all of your parts securely to the mat during disassembly and cleaning with the OnTigris anti-slip mat.

AK-47 Bipods

Quick-detach bipod mounts are great for wood furniture AKs like the AK-47 that don’t have a way to mount a Picatinny bipod.

Simply clamp these bipods on the bottom of the barrel and you’ll be able to easily land shots in the prone position!

We also have some options for those who have modernized their AK-47 rifles with railed or M-LOK handguards.

#1 UTG New Gen Reinforced Clamp-on Bipod

Here’s our top pick to mount a bipod on your classic wood furniture AK-47 without the need for a pic-rail, by UTG. Comes in two different lengths depending on your needs.

FAB Defense has come up with an ingenious invention that incorporates a bipod into the pistol grip that keeps the additional weight of a typical bipod to a minimum and will give your AK-47 a much-improved and balanced weight distribution!

This, of course, will look much more appropriate on a tactical AK-47 furniture set.

Instantly deploy a bipod in the field for a stable shooting platform when you install this FAB Defense AK-47 Quick Deployment Bipod w/ AGR-47 Pistol Grip. A benefit to using these Bipods by FAB Defense is that they rapidly deploy near your gun’s grip, saving front rail space and not adding unnecessary weight to the front of your rifle.

AK-47 Bench Rests and Bags
