the assembly and smithing you did is really well done but i figure at twenty five yards i'll flip out the knife and go after the target that way. there is no good way to make a cheap(lets be honest here) army gun shoot like anything but a cheap army gun. when the price of the accessories starts to reach the resale value of the whole system its time to think about upgrading to a new system. my sks shoots just fine with the irons but i don't expect it to be a tack driver. i do expect it to roll around behind the seat of my truck so anything that goes on it has to be sturdy enough to take a beating. my point is you have to consider what you have before you start pouring money on it.

I went with this option. all from Marstar. Took about 20 minutes to install, the cover comes oversized slightly on purpose and you have to file it slightly to make it fit. Great idea in my opinion as it allows you to custom fit it to your particular rifle. After a bit of filling with the fine file on my leatherman wave mines a great fit. Additionally there are 2 screws on each side of the cover to tighten it down to the receiver.
I like the idea of being able to use the open sites if I want, you just look under the red dot. Havent been to the range yet. Ill report back here when I do.

I hope you like sighting in everytime you take the cover off. I had a similar one and it drove me to edge of madness, wount' hold zero . I think the best way to mount optics to an sks is the Kalinka optics setup http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/cgi-bin/kowstore.cgi but it sure aint cheap !
