Ghost Ring Sights For AK Type Carbine (Saiga)?

[nero45acp]

I'd like to buy a Saiga 16.3" carbine in .223, but my middle-aged eyes need something better than the AK type sights that are on it. Other than Mojo sights, does anyone else make high quality aftermarket ghost ring sights that will fit on the Saiga? Thanks.

Whose making the sights for Krebs pieces? Shot one of those last month, like it a lot. May want to check them first.

Try the guys at R Guns (real friendly, I do a lot of business with them) and see if they can get you what you need. http://www.rguns.net/

+1.
I see the FBMG site offers G3 diopeter sights for $125 installed on their converted Saigas.

I assume they mount to the left side of the reciver and arch over to be on top of the barrell? I'ld like a peep sight (bigger hole then the G3 sight) for getting on the target faster, mounted on a non-convert Saiga (keeps the sporter stock.) Don't know if this is a possibility.

I use this aperture sight on my Saigas.

Easy to install. Cheap enough to try. The Krebs sight may be good, but it's pricey.

This is also a good aperture sight for the SKS, though I've also got a Tech Sight TS200 that's fantastic at twice the price.

Thanks for the replies. Sgphoto, that William's sight looks like it might be a winner, and like you said, cheap enough that it won't hurt if I get it and decide that it's not for me.

One more question, does anyone know a good source for quality higher capacity mags (20-30rd instead of the 10rd) for a .223 Saiga? Again, thanks.

Saiga and AK use exactly the same sights then?

The AK and Saiga 7.62x39 use the same sights. I would think it's also true with the .223.

However the Saiga shotguns do not use AK style sights (much to my chagrin).
