johninsotexas 1 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Today I bought a new vepr 7.62x39, and a open with windage. Can anyone tell me how to change it out?. I jacked with it for a couple hours today, and couldn't figure it out. Any bit of help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye 325 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Get a wood dowel a rag and a hammer. Hit it down and back with the dowel as a punch. The rag is to cover it so it don't go flying into the lost world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johninsotexas 1 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Deadeye, Im sorry but Im really wet behind the ears on this gun. Could you explain with a little more detail on how to remove the rear sight so I can install the new one?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye 325 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Is it a normal ak sight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beefcakeb99 572 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Can you post pics or look at pics of a regular ak leaf? He was dead on... lol.... About how to do it the dowel goes on the part closest to the barrel and press down and rearward. There should be a travel path on the side of the sight base that the side pins fit in you can use as a guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beefcakeb99 572 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Also why change it? The windage sight is one of the better ones out there, what would you replace it with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johninsotexas 1 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Also why change it? The windage sight is one of the better ones out there, what would you replace it with? The sight that came with the gun didnt have a windage adjustment on it just up/down. This new one I bought has windage. AK-47: Rear Sight Removal & Installation (HD): Thank you so much, that was much better than the little manual the gun came with, man it was so easy after watching this. Thanks again.
