I found this yesterday. It is an A2 style sight (windage only though) mounted on an AK dust cover. I've been looking for something like this for sometime. I love AKs, hate buckhorn sights.
I've always felt that the AKs one big weakness is its lack of good iron sights. I honestly think that most of the rep for bad accuracy comes from that, rather than any real problem with the gun.
I will be ordering one shortly.
I e-mailed them with a few questions, here is the response:
Dear Mr. Correia:
Our AR15-style rear sight does not come attached to a receiver cover. You could,if you wished, send the part to us and have us install them, or you could have it done locally.
The sights themselves are attached to the receiver cover with screws. We also modify the end of the recoil spring guide assembly with a set screw at a particular angle, which helps to hold the receiver cover in place.
The sight was designed to be used with a standard-height AK front sight. There would be some adjustment needed after installation, but we don't think it would amount to much.
The sights themselves are $50. If you wish us to do the installation, the cost would be an addtional $65 for the labour, and about $8 for return shipping.
Thank you for your interest. Please let us know how you'd like to proceed on this.
