Have you seen the Tech Sight for the AK?

 

 

It's a no modification part that just replaces your top cover and recoil spring guide. I've got one that's newly duracoated (comes parkerized) I'm willing to sell.

I did one. Took the whole A2 rear sight, cut the threaded vertical adjustment post off the bottom, cut dovetail edges front and rear, and then dovetailed it into a custom base that was welded onto the dust cover.

How well do you like this system? Is it repeatable after removal?

I liked it well enough, but decided it was too much trouble to field strip the rifle with it, so I sold it. Repeatable accuracy though.

Thanks, think I'm about to get one. I like the looks of the TWS, but it seem unproven and much more expensive.
