aekdbbop 5 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hey guys. Just a quick question. If I were to buy a Midwest industries forend for my saiga, and remove the front factory sights, could I use a rail mounted flip up front sight? Would it line up correctly with the factory rear sight?

aekdbbop 5 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 http://www.saiga-12.com/proddetail.asp?prod=PM209 This is probably the sight I would use, would that work with the factory rear sight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Just eyeballing it, I'd guess it'd be way too tall. The line of sight using the factory irons looks like it barely clears the top of that particular forend. If you had a rear rail like a TWS or DPH rail, you might be able to put a flip-up rear sight on that and have it work with a forend-mounted flip-up front sight.

VaiFanatic90 360 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 It'd be too high for sure, I couldn't even imagine trying to aim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aekdbbop 5 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yup, so What if I used a DPH dust cover rail with some rear sight. Surly that would work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'd say it would. What kind of rear sight did you have in mind? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cobravenom39 17 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yup, so What if I used a DPH dust cover rail with some rear sight. Surly that would work? You're working with iron sights on two unproven surfaces that likely will not hold a "true" zero. What are you trying to do? You could get an ACE bolt on front sight with a TWS gen II rail with integrated/add on peep sight. That's what I'd do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGonZo 157 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Maybe an UltimAK railed gas tube would work with that sight. I dont know for sure but the rail on the gas tube would sit about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch lower than any handguard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
