KC913 324 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Is the Dinzag front sight the short or tall model? How well does it line up with the Krebs rear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SICARIO 26 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Is the Dinzag front sight the short or tall model? How well does it line up with the Krebs rear? It is the Short deluxe. It aligns perfectly w/ the Krebs rear. Krebs won't sell the Rear ghost ring by itself, but you can buy it through Arizona Armory (it was around $15) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THANK YOU! No problem, it took me a while to figure out it would work. I really wanted to use the ghost ring sight, but couldn't get over the clamping mechanism on the front sight. This solution costs a little more, but in my opinion the final result is a much cleaner look. The short deluxe sight will work for either the stock rear sight or the ghost ring rear sight.

Not much. It's about in the middle. I'll get a close up shot when I get a chance. Edited October 8, 2011 by SICARIO- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rooskibar03 4 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Question, what are you using as a safety stop? I ordered that same trigger guard for my build only to discover not safety stop. Is that something you made? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lidocaine Looney 26 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nice conversion. Definitely a different shade of green, which as you can tell, I like.. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/69292-my-work-in-progress/page__p__672022&do=findComment&comment=672022 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered that same trigger guard for my build only to discover not safety stop. Is that something you made? yeah, they don't give supply one. I made it out if some steel plate and bolted it to the receiver. CSS makes the Ak version that comes with the stop. It wouldn't take much for them to slightly modify the design accommodate the stop Nice conversion. Definitely a different shade of green, which as you can tell, I like.. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/69292-my-work-in-progress/page__p__672022&do=findComment&comment=672022 Very nice!

gunfun 3,931 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The magpul forend looks good. Where do you play around Portland? I couldn't find a single free place to shoot when I was working there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SICARIO 26 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 The magpul forend looks good. Where do you play around Portland? I couldn't find a single free place to shoot when I was working there. I'm lucky enough to have grown up on a 12acre farm with a 100yrd range, so I have that at my disposal. Besides that it's hard to find a place to go around here for free that you don't have to drive an hour to get to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yep! I like the later configuration myself! I'm rather surprised you're not running into issues with a untrimmed BHO. Any plans on trimming it back some? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lidocaine Looney 26 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 It rubs a lot of people's hands while shooting. I have the one on my S12 I didn't trim and it doesn't really bother me. Trimmed my 7.62 one while I had it out though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cguiro 29 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 How hard was it to install that front sight... currently running the krebs set up but hate the 2 bolts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SICARIO 26 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 How hard was it to install that front sight... currently running the krebs set up but hate the 2 bolts Very easy. There are two set screws right behind the front sight post that lock it into place. The cross bolts on the Krebs are what turned me off of them as well. Works fine but isn't aesthetically pleasing. The dinzag is about as close as you can get to a factory like look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cguiro 29 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yea i may replace with a dinzag when he has them in stock again or a front sight post on a gas block not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any plans on trimming it back some? I haven't had any issues with it. What kind of problems do people experience? With shotguns its less prevalent, but I find recoil can cause a shooter to accidentally activate it. Many people trim it at a minimum to make it less obtrusive. I trim them on my shotguns, and remove them entirely on rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
