Aperture Sights for AK-47?

Texas weapons systems has a rear peep, tech sights are another option.

I have no experience with Techsights on an AK but do like them a lot in general. I have found them to have a very crisp sight picture.

Aperture signs need the rear sight close to your eye to work right. Unless the sight is remounted from the rear gas tube support (normal rear sight position) it just isn't going to work very good.

The Israelis and Swiss realized this when they designed the Galil and Sig 550, they put the aperture right at the rear of the receiver.

I put a peep rear sight on my WASR. Lines up perfectly with the roundish front sight.

I second that. I have Tech-sights on 2 Ruger 10/22s, a Marlin 795, and my SKS. They are great on every one of them.

I have the TWS setup. It requires replacing the dust cover with their picatinny cover. I got the rifle that way and it not particularly the ideal setup IMO. I swapped back out to the TWS notch sight, it's just faster for me. Any optic I add in the future will be via Ultimak scout rail.

I have a Krebs Custom sight on my AK and it works well. It doesn't increase the sight radius like the others but it also doesn't get in the way of my siderail scope setup. It is also $30 cheaper. Here is the link.

I don't have any mounted on an AK but they sure help on other rifles I have. I have a set of Mojo's with a small aperture on the front on a Mosin Nagant and they are great. I love AKs but the sights suck. Dare I say AR15 sights on an AK
