I've had my converted Saiga AK for 5+ years. Runs perfectly. But the front sight needs major crank to the left (makes sense) to get anything on target (fack). Was like that out of the box!

Anyone have the skills and knowledge for a challenge to fix an AK canted sight?

It is the sight assembly itself or the rear sight base?

Unknown! I can look later, is there a way to tell easily?

If I were to estimate, they both look off! Both working in the wrong direction so to speak.

It could also be the front sight too right.

Yes, they are both off, the front probably is worse.

Buy an RPK adjustable rear sight and forget about it.

Wow - yes I started Googling and there is an amazing assortment of rear (and front) AK sight option. Not an AK guy obviously but 8+ years ago, not much out there. Looks like these will be fun to test :bigsmile: :wagwoot:

System set up with
Spoiler: show
Rick Roll
warnings, so nope!

Got my Kensight Adjustable Fiber Optic rear sight today. YAY!!

Never popped a rear sight out of an AK. Bone easy. Popping the new one in was a little tough. But snapped in place. I still need to install thefiber optic light pipes, but have not decided which color.

The pins on the removed sight do not look straight!

You. You lousy fuker are the MAN.

I bought this pug: http://stores.kensight.com/ak-variant-k ... m-860-963/

No. It wasn't over $100. Not cheap, but you can find them a lot less if you shop. It comes with Red and Green light pipes, which are super easy to install. All I did was crank the front sight back to center. Holy poop problem solved. The stock Saiga rear sight was garbage. I didn't even have to adjust the rear sight L or R. REALLY NICE fix. Looks OK too.

Wow that really is nice!

I've been thinking about not worrying about the iron sights on my AK (since I'm running an M4 tube the cheek weld is very high for irons), but.... man that looks nice.
