MightyMouse 0 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have never owned a AK. I just recieved my first saiga 7.62x39 rifle. Part of me likes it how it is, the other part likes the look of an AK. I plan to use it in stock form first, mine came used. How should the factory sights be used? I'm unfamilar with this style sight. Do I just center and level the front post in the rear sight. Or do the curved prongs on the front sight need to be leveled regardless of the post with the rear sight? This may sound stupid but I have never had these curved front post sides. Do they make any difference or not, or is it just the post that matter's? Tell me how to use the factory sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 The "curved prongs" are there to protect the sight post. You line up the sight post with the notch in the rear sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Welcome to the forum, and to the Saiga family. The front post is threaded and can be adjusted up and down with a tool that slips over it. Most tools also have a yoke with a screw to push the round barrel the post is screwed into left or right too. They're commonly available. They look like this: Click on image for link to one of our business members that sells them. Again, welcome to your new addiction......even if you don't know it yet.
