Mullet Man 2,114 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 What front sight? And the bead and the gas block are in the same spot, so you asked about the same location. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 bolt on sight, gas block is back app 10 in from bead Umm, you lost me. The front bead sight on an iz109 is on top of the gas block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The front bead sight on an iz109 is on top of the gas block. my bad you are right ,for some reason I thought the bead was at the end,css shows there bolt on front sight just after the muzzle break,sorry for the headache.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 All good. You can put the front sight where ever you want to. The majority run it out at the end, myself included... Some people put them a few inches in from the end of the barrel leaving a gap between the sight and muzzle and I've seen some where they put it a couple inches in front of the gas block. I don't understand the logic behind those spots, maybe its for weight distribution or something, I dunno. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 How big a difference in accuracy is there between having the front sight on the gas block as opposed to on the end of the barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Not so much accuracy as sight radius and visual proportion of the ring. Shooting shot, I use it like a shotgun, just looking down the top. Adding the front sight ring to that picture gives a little more visual confirmation and the effect of a longer vent rib. The ring also gives a visual approximation of shot spread, and a gap for range estimation when using slugs. The dinzag front sight as seen on the lower of MM's guns in post #6 is easily the cleanest and best sight for the S12. No crude clamp sticking out, fairly light, made to take standard AKM sight posts, etc. The CSS or the krebs is the next best one. It and the Krebs both take AR sight posts, which is a little nicer IMO, due to huge selection of nice glowy posts for little money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm a sucker for those glowy night-sights, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Me too. I was given an unfinished dinzag blem, and made my own drum for it. The adjustment drum on an AK sight as well as the dinzag version of them is 10mm, AR front sight posts are 8-36 thread. I made a drum from the shank of a bolt, chiseled some splines into it for extra drag and tapped it 8-36. Then I used a trijicon AR front sight post with a thin glowy line. I think that's pretty slick. Later I broke the vial, but that's another story. Now it is painted with hot pink nail polish, until its eventual replacement with another tritium post.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Does that sight have a full hood like the type 56, or just the half hood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Half? I'd call it 3/4 or something. The gap at top was meant to range find by comparison to a man's shoulders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparky63 46 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 anyone got time to post old links on removing rear sight on saiga 12? also lock tighted my ar return spring tube with locktight and cant get the darn thing off. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Googling the question would be easy. Easy answer. Gun stuff is almost always drift from left to right. So get a stout punch of brass or or aluminum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparky63 46 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 installed ,wish I could post pics,super easy to install,seems it is still too short for comfortable aiming but dump fireing is more accurate,worth the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
