Has anyone put a new set of sights on their Norinco Sig copy? I have an NP-22 (226 copy) and was wondering if sights offered for the Sig 226 (mainly the rear one) will fit this pistol.
 
I put a set of adjustable sights for a SIG P228 on a NP34 and all went well. No problem mounting at all.

Thanks DaBear. All I needed to know. Btw, was the orignal rear sight hard to remove? Both the front and rear on mine are impossible to budge and I'm afraid I'll have to do some carful dremel cutting to get the rear sight off.
 
Whoa! Back away from the Dremel, nice & easy... I dont know about your unit, but mine had drift adjustable rear sight. Now it does take a bit of effort to knock it out but it will move. take your time, use a punch(brass unless u dont care about keeping the original), line up your blows.
Good luck
Cheers:)

Spent three days with a padded vice, an SKS drift punch and a hammer. It won't budge. I'll no doubt try it again but I really don't see it comming off and I don't wanna mar or damage my slide. I figure if I can mill a mean set of slide rails with a dremel I can remove a rear site. Just gotta take my time.
 
If you leave it long enough it will rust off, that's what happened on mine. The front sight split in half at the weld, load of rust fell out of the insides of the top bit. I don't know what I can expose a gun to that will cause the front sight to disintegrate from the inside out!

Norinco QC at it's finest.

I find Nork sights generally are very tight and hard to move.

Hence my problem. I tried once more to pound it out last night. Still no go. I'm waiting for my new rear to get here then I'm cutting the damn thing off:mad:

Have you tried to apply a little heat?

I've removed a couple of tight sights this way...
 
Like stated previously..you may be trying to "punch" it out in the wrong direction. Dovetails are not perfectly paralell, one side is usually wider than the other. Measure both sides with a dial or digital caliper and drift out towards the wider side.
 
No gunsmith near me and even if it was it's not the worth the extra $$$ when I'm pretty sure I can do a decent job my self.

Tried heat. Figured that would work for sure but nope.

and I'm punching the sight to the left. Have never tied to punch the other way cause the whole reason I need to move them in the first place is that the sight needs to be moved that way to pout the pistol on sight. I'm geting an adjustable sight just so once it's on there, I can adjust it easly and never have this problem again.
 
The NP-22 is an excellent pistol. I had one, and the best thing I ever did with it was to sell it!! There not really that bad. groups about 3.5 inches at 15yards. will accept Sig 226 sights.

To the left? Holding the pistol out in front of you, the direction most common would be to the RIGHT. I have done three pistols, and always drifted to the RIGHT to get sights out.
