Just finished evaluating a new SKS sight that's been mentioned here several times. Got two from these folks:
http://www.tech-sights.com/
Installation was fairly easy - hardest part is removing the factory rear sight from my Norinco SKS. It's a three handed job, helps to have a buddy depress the leaf spring while you tap out the sight. The locking pin on the rear of the receiver was taken off with a bolt cutter, if you don't have one available, filing down the stud may be a bit of a pain.
I did not have a problem with the rear sight housing obstructing my vision as rbernie reported, but that may be either just me or my SKS may vary in some small way from rbernie's rifle. Next up is installation on my SKS Paratrooper, so may have something different to report.
Practical accuracy was vastly improved and getting 1.5 inch groups with Federal softpoint ammo was no problem. Best groups formerly were about 3 inches.
Three RKIs I showed the rifle/sight system to were very impressed. I'm very impressed and highly recommend them.
