just wondering if anybody done any mods on their rear sights or upgraded / replaced them.

I got interested in the fuller rear sight mod >>>

anybody can do this professionally locally ? rather give locals the business.

also anybody have / tried xs rear sight ?

pls keep this thread specific to rear sight. not about red dots vs something or such

Wow. I thought of this like a year ago and never went through with it and here it is for 85 friggin bucks...ridiculous! You could modify yours easily.

 

I've thought about doing something with sights (XS, FO, NS, etc) but I always go back to the KISS mentality.

Yee but it's not gonna be as clean and neat.

and I agree on keep it simple but there is always room for improvement

for XS I'm only looking at their rear sight. the opening looks really wide. wonder how well it would work with standard maybe painted sight....

I know it is not irons.. but honestly..

Ultimak + decent red dot = fast

 

I have an Ultimak with Aimpoint (you could go Primary Arms to save) and I would NEVER go back..

+1 totally agree with u. I have ultimak with eotech. however I love shooting irons and want to improve the rear one to have faster target acquisition.

fair enough... good luck with it.. honestly if you were going to spend that much I would consider one of those rear peep sights..

 

sorry about the red dot comment I didnt read your whole first post.. sorry about that..

I actually have one of those and they are great for bench shooting but no more than that ( in my opinion) .

not an issue at all

wow looks like that answers a lot of the questions i had. except one: now i dont have an ak yet, but is it generally a good idea to clean the gas tube? i ask because even though the web site says you don't need to remove it for rifle cleaning... still looks like you do to really be able to get into the gas tube and block. would that affect the 'zero'?

i have read somewhere that you can make the rear sight much faster by filing a V shape into it. of course this will sacrifice some accuracy but the people who do this seem to think that faster aquisition is worth it.

you really dont need to clean that gas tube... you can clean it from the back if you really feel the need...

I love my krebs rear with a narrower front post. Actually shrunk my groups alot. It uses your original slider and uses original style graduations, it looks very correct and without looking for it you would think its the factory leaf. Except it makes shooting so much nicer...

 

Heres a couple of my rifles with the krebs on it (except for the RPK in last pic). Its as original looking as you can get. And as basic as you can get.

 

I just picked up a scout scope mount from Dillon Precision, it mounts in place of the rear sight. I mounted a cheapo tasco red dot on it for the moment just to see if I'd like the setup. Gotta say I'm thrilled with it so far. Really well built and easy to adjust.
