I replaced the mojo peep sight on my WASR10 with a tech sight model AK200s

The box arrived with detailed instructions and a new dust cover that works
with the sights. There was also a small L shaped hex screwdriver. The tech sight was attached to its own guide rod so it was necessary to remove the recoil spring from the original rod.




Installing the recoil spring over the guide rods while putting the collar on
was difficult. The collar is a cap that keeps the spring in place. Putting the new dust cover on requires a different technique. The rear part of the dust cover has to go on first. I first thought I would have to cut a couple millimeters off the front of the cover but this was unnecessary.

Once installed the sight picture was great. Zeroing the sight was easy. I used a sight adjusting tool(purchased seperately) to move the front sight post up a little. The L shaped tool was needed to adjust the tech sight for windage and a knob at the rear of the sight adjusted elevation.

Removing the old sight was difficult. It required a screwdriver and a LOT of force.

Accuracy was sufficient to hit clay pigeons reliably at 50 yards. The best grouping I got on a bullseye target was about 3.5" at 50 yards, though I admit I'm not a great shot and am sure the rifle can do better. Overall I'm happy with my new tech sight and would recommend it.

Cool. I saw an ad for those in American Rifleman this month. I've been wondering how good they are. Anyone else have any experience with them?
 
Update: Just tested my rifle again at 50 yards and got a 2 1/4 inch group. I am pleased with the tech-sight.
 
Can you do a quick pictorial of how you break down the rifle for cleaning? I'm a little confused about how these work.

And, 2-1/4" at 50 yds? How bad was your accuracy before?

Thanks!

For cleaning, you press in the two buttons on the back of the dust cover(one on each side) so you can lift it off. The rear sight is attached to the recoil spring and guide rod. After pulling these out you can remove the bolt carrier.

My previous best group at 50 yards was 3 1/2 inches. So today's group being just a little over 4 MOA makes me happy.
