geepelton 105 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I will be ordering one of these when I get back in 3 months. Save me one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean.223 365 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hey all, It's pretty obvious how the front site is installed, does the rear require welding or removal of the factory rear site?? THANX!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'd imagine that you drift punch the old sight leaf out, and do the same thing to get the new one in, like with the Kreb's sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is it. Punch out the old and slide the new dovetail rear in and lock it down with the set screw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some people have put a small cut across the top of the rear sight to remove it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parf 19 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) What rifle is the front sight post from? Is it an AR-15? I'm interested in this, and would be even more interested in it with a Tritium Big Dot front to go with the buckhorn rear. I've been kicking around the idea of ordering ~$600 in parts from dinzag, but with this and a Tromix handguard I think I would be very happy for about $175.

Would that be possible to order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCRIMSONK 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I recently added this sight set to my S-12. I want to add a red dot as well, using the AK mount. Is there an AK mount that will hold the red dot high enough, or to the left, so that I can still use the iron sights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there an AK mount that will hold the red dot high enough, or to the left, so that I can still use the iron sights? None of them really do and will block the sights partially. The best way is to use the quick release lever to remove the scope mount when you need the irons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CPanther95 0 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I have a 1999 version with a rib sight. Is it more involved to replace? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpqueen 545 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I have a 1999 version with a rib sight. Is it more involved to replace? You will have to remove the rib first. It is not hard to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CPanther95 0 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 OK. I'll probably call you down the road for more details - just planning ahead right now because I'm starting my first conversion. Every time I think I know what conversion kit to tell my wife to order for Christmas, I see another photo or another comment that makes me change my mind. I'm suffering information overload since joining this site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad737 4 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Dang it! I just tried to order a set, but out of stock. Any idea when these will be available? Thanks, Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpqueen 545 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 They should be back in 3-4 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 if i read it right, the rear sight aperture sits higher than the factory. will these sit higher than a chaos quad rail? not the extended, just the normal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpqueen 545 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 The bottom of the V you sight through is it at .380" from the bottom edge. I am not sure where that compares to the CHOAS rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 thanks for the measurement. i think it would still be short. i compared my rail and it seems to be near .5" tall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Getoff Mylawn 4 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Can't wait to get this on and sight it in, wasn't too impressed with the factory bead... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Getoff Mylawn 4 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Opted for the CSS over the ghost ring...might move it farther down the barrel, seems kinda close to the middle. Haven't sighted it in yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CAGLS 3 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) if i read it right, the rear sight aperture sits higher than the factory. will these sit higher than a chaos quad rail? not the extended, just the normal. I've had this on my Saiga 12 since Feb this year along with the Chaos Warthog brake which together locks the front sight tower in place. I also have the Chaos extended quad rail but could not place the top rail on the bottom tri rail due to the rear iron sight not clearing the top rail. I could use some sort of metal spacers to clear it and then it would give me a see through for this iron sight setup so I leave the top rail off. I mainly use the tri rail for a forend grip and Streamlight tlr-4 light laser on the left side. Once I sighted this in shot placement is dead on especially with the increased 17" sight radius compared to the stock. I also replaced the fiber optic post with a tritium dot post, very bright in low light conditions. For a red dot I just lock on a Kalinka Optics BP-02, but I prefer the iron sights for quick target acquisition for home defense to hit center mass.
