Tech-Sight and Red Dot on an SKS

[Dunross]

I've got a sixties era all-milled-parts Chinese SKS that's been sitting in my safe for too long because my eyes and its' sights don't play well together any more.

I've recently decided to mount a Tech-Sight TS200 aperture sight on it to help alleviate that problem somewhat then got to thinking what about a red dot?

Is there some way to mount a rail on an SKS that will allow me to use a red dot sight in conjunction with the aperture sight? Preferably without having to replace the original stock.

What are the options here?

A tall side mount would be the only way. And i dont know of one of those off the top of my head.

Only way i know to mount an optic is a tailed top cover. Or a mount that replaces the original leaf sight.

I'm saving up to get a Molot side mount through Kalinka so I can put a posp red dot on it. Given what I've seen of the tech sights you might be able to cowitness with the two.
