Junk. The red fibre optics fell out after two range trips. Couldn't find it. The windage set screw strip out the first try. Elevation adjustment is kinda a joke. Don't buy.
 
Call Williams, I broke the fiber optic on the front sight and they sent me a new one for free. Ive got Williams sights on a couple guns and am pretty happy with them.
They really need to be locktighted when set and even a drop of crazy glue applied to the front sight. As for the screws there should be a warning (soft as balsa wood).
The proper size screwdriver and not too much tork should be applied. Kind of a pain in the ass in a way but once set you should be alright.

I take it the recoil and action are beating them up?
Good luck

I agree completely. Mine was such a bloody turd. I had to lock tite and nail polish the elevation screw to stop it from falling out and the front sight fiber optic fell out and had to be glued back in. Even once I'd glued all that junk back together I foudn the front sight post is such a huge chunk of crap I had more issues actually seeing my targets. The other fun moment was when the mounting system for the front sight kept putting it far off center. I actually got a second SKS and left the factory sights on and enjoy it far more. I really do feel like I wasted my money on the fire sights.

I suspect the tech sights are a much better place to start if you want that style of sight.
 
Seems like very bad reviews but seeing as I already have all the pins out and rear sight is installed and I'm having trouble installing the front sight for my SKS... How the hell do you install it ?!?!

Hical peep sight combo.....little loose but with a little tweeking its solid well made product and the finer post is much better....to each to his own but I am happy with it...Canadian Made....
 
You bet! Try our Hical SKS peep sight combo. It is the best sight replacement setup you can buy for the SKS or CZ. We have the 3 pc combo on special right now, $99, HERE.

Click the link and the look and then look at top tight where it says "did you mean - hijab pump?". Click that and it brings you to pump shotguns. Pretty funny.
 
Installed the hical rear sight tonight on my sks. Love it. Taking the old one off took some time but the new one popped in easily. The sight picture is so much better than the original. Anyone with astigmatism like me would be much better served with this sight!
 
Installed one on my tractor factory 1954 SKS. Windage is fine but it shoots about 2.5 feet too high at 100m...I would like to try the tapco interfuse front sights but they are plastic so don't know how durable they are. Any body had any luck with the tapco front sights?
 
I'd like to add that my rear sights adjustment screw was loose enough in the threads it liked to adjust itself and had to be loc-tited in place. Complete junk.
