Are you trying to add a picatinny rail to your AK-47?

I don't get how it works. It doesn't look like a replacement cover so how does it stay on (besides the front end that replaces the rear iron site)?

I'd steer clear. For a similar rail your better option would be either the TWS gen 1 rail or the Krebs. The fundamental difference between the three is the latter allows you to remove the dust cover without having to unscrew the rear mount every time.

TWS

Krebs

A better rail than both IMHO is the TWS hinged dust cover, if for no other reason than it doesn't add any more weight to the gun for the same effect.

Sorry about the dup thread the first one i started I was not able to relocate. From my understanding is it replaces the rear sight and then the back is fixed using the screw for the stock. From what I understand you can get a TWS rear peep sight so you have back up irons. It seems like a knock off of the TWS at a much lower cost and different way of attaching the back end of it.

well kind of. If you notice the TWS top cover (gen 2) or the Dogleg rail (gen 1) dip down where the sight you list does not. Your rear sight will be too high for the front. On the Krebs rail the rear sight is right on the rail. Both Krebs and the Dogleg have a rear mount that locks it in place. On the above you have to unscrew the rear tangs screw if you have a serious malfunction or need to clean your gun. After a while you'll turn that screw hole into mush. Your zero will likely change as well.
