I am looking for a laser sight that mounts on an SKS bayonet lug. Are they available?
Laser sights that mount on SKS bayo lug??

I've been watching this post for a few hours now, hoping someone will post a product link.
Oh well. So I've been toying around with the idea of disassembling the bayonet and boring out the tube to accept a small-diameter laser sight. Drill and tap a couple of holes on the side to allow for calibration, and use rubber boots on the screws to avoid damaging the laser. The only issue here would be attaching a sturdy piece of aluminum or steel to the end of the laser that would fit through the end of the tube and allow for a firm attachment to the lug.
With my metalworking skillz, it would look... like a giant turd. I have no usable experience in metalworking. But with the right gear and know-how, I think this could be a neat solution, and it would use existing parts that already fit i.e. the metal ring on the bayonet that fits around the end of the barrel.

I have been thinking of this since I read it at work.
I already searched for a cheapo laser for a handgun awhile back and found this:
It could easily be adapted to a picatinny rail/mount that would bolt into bayo lug....
Or it looks like the bolt may just work in the existing hole.
And for $30 who cares what happens to it.
I can pm ebay link if interested....I am not sure if I can post that in the thread? I may buy it and just see what I can whip up.
To the OP, we seem to think very much alike...on this and other topics....good work!

You guys have some good ideas.
I am going to pick-up a cheap laser sight from Crappy Tire, and fiddle around with it. I have this nice ATI folder SKS, and the only thing that looks out of place is that damn bayo lug. I also think the SKS is in its glory at under 100 yards, so why not make life simple and shoot where the red dot points?
