EreadM 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was just wondering if the ak peep sight from Krebs would work fine on the 5.56. Personally I don't know how much a difference there is between the rear sight on 7.62 and a 5.56. So I'm assuming the rear peep sight they are selling is for the 7.62. So if any of ya'll got any knowledge on this subject, and whether or not you could use it on the 5.56 please feel free to fill me in. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

The calibration for caliber is not in the sight leaf, but in the ramp beneath it. The Krebs 1000 meter sight will work fine for the .223.

Well I guess we learn new things everyday, I didn't know the calibration was in the ramp. So would the 800 meter work also? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimdigriz 580 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) I think the 800 woul still work though right? I would think that it would be a little off, progressively worse at further distances. I'm just theorizing, though. But why buy the wrong one??
