Adding sights JW-103

[pierrody]

Does anyone know if it is possible to add sights to the Norinco JW-103 (7.62x39 bolt gun)?

Has anyone done this before?

Just wondering...

I own one, but it's scoped. The problem you'll have is that the scope mounts are integral with the receiver and it's not easily removed (cut, grind, file and re-blue). With them in place, they will interfere with seeing any iron sights you add. You'd have to go with an extra 1/4" of height on the sights to clear the scope mounts which would "work", but would be craptacular.

You win some you lose some - it comes with solid scope mounts so no need to buy and install, but removing them would be a chore.

Andy,

What do you think about yours? What kind of accuracy do you get with it? Do you put surplus ammo through it?

I haven't used surplus and won't except out of curiosity. I use that in the SKS - I bought this one to try some subsonic stuff that I handload.

I was thinking that since the magazine length and bolt face would be correct for a 6PPC, why not find a shot out 6mm barrel, cut off about 4 inches, and re-chamber?

It would make a nice accurate little gopher gun.
