SKS rear sight

[G-Force24]

So, has any one else thought of this???
I have a Tapco intrafuse siminov, with the weaver base on the handguard. Everything I've read is receiver cover mounts suck ( no holding zero) for mounting optics, the handguard again no holding zero and therefore suck. So, while looking down the sight, for fast target acquisition I find having the rail on the handguard mildly distracting.

My thoughts, neatly paint (red per say) around the rear sight slit, and paint the front sight another colour (sa green) so its a little faster to acquire your target...

Am I way out in left field? Has anyone done this? I saw one guy post a pic a while ago with custom F.O rear sight on his SKS, Any pics would help me in making my decision

Thanks!
Evan

I think they make firesights to do exactly what you want

you guys are gearing up to suck the life from my bank account. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. To the OP, different colours make a big difference in seperating and defining front and rear sights. A little paint is no big deal to remove or change so for the time being it will work quite well.

OK, for a noob to SKSs ... how do I adjust front site ??

Williams makes an excellent Peep sight for the SKS with a fibreoptic front sight Ellwood Epps has them. SKS Rifle Fire Sight Set. I put one on my SKS and rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation

theres a tool u can get.. its like 15 bucks.. you could probaly find household items that would work.. ud have to see the tool to get an understanding tho..

its basicaly a C-clamp with a notch on one end

 

[supernova]

yup, screw the front post up or down for elevation, and drift (with the proper tool) the windage drum for, obviously, windage

alot of CGNs site sponsors carry various brand names of the front sight tool. Fabsports, GP tactical, Marstar etc.

 

[bigmagnus]

Supernova and others.

Got the idea, thanks. Now I know what I need. I'll pop in at Del Selins and pick one up or failing that, order from a sponsor.

This is the best front sight tool out there for the SKS/VZ/AK. Neit Arms carries them.
