The short answer is "Yes" you can mount a scope on your AK. However it's a whole lot easier if the AK comes with the rail that accepts the standard AK type scope mount. Most of the Romanian AK's will have them and some of the others will too. If you have an AK without the scope mount attachment already on the left side of the receiver you can put one on but that involves drilling.

You can get the dust cover and rear sight attachment scope mounts but they are absolute junk and holding any kind of meaningful zero will be difficult. The receiver mounted mount is how the military that utilize the AK mount the scopes and it will hold zero perfectly. If you haven't already purchased an AK then buy one with the scope mount already attached and you will be way ahead of the game.....
