Hi Cal Has A New "Goodie" For The SKS...

Dang, it replaces the rear.... I was hoping for an affordable rear tech sight sort of thing.

Aye, second here.
One that mounts somehow to the takedown pin so it's at the very rear of the receiver increasing sight radius as well.

I had a tech sight. Once.

It seemed cheaply made, and wiggled a lot. My SKS was also an newer/ thicker receiver; so, with the way all SKS' are slightly different, I wouldn't trust it. Unless one also utilizes the stripper clip guide, a la wartack/magwedge rail, you cannot affix them securely enough to ensure accuracy after cleaning.

With this, like my CZ 858's old Rauch Tactical peep sight - you just adjust the front sight post and then
Loctite it: Simply idiot proof and undeniably practical.

As a second perk: One can keep the SKS 'original' but utilize an easier set of irons during use without attaching the kitchen sink.

I think that is the option that best appeals the most to me.

Cheers!
