Here's a pic of a Mojo sight on an AK. Pretty good sight, I like it. However, see how the body of the sight is hung off the sight base like a diving board? This cantilever makes the sight more vulnerable to abuse as we discovered. It only bent a little bit and was easily rezeroed but if there's a more rugged one available go for it.
You can get a more sturdy Mojo sight. The one I have does not extend any farther than the original tangent leaf sight did. It's great, but be sure to get the aperture set if you're planning to shoot past 50 yards. The biggest aperture (which comes with the sight) is very quick to pick up, but low on precision.
There's nothing wrong with the Mojo sights if you understand that a peep sight that far from your eye won't offer the typical benefits provided by a more conventionally located peep sight.
That said, many people like them a lot.
This is a better (though undoubtedly far more expensive) option.
You're going to be waiting awhile. That scope rail has been "Coming Soon!" for over a year now.
I would recommend the Krebs or Mojo sight, but the standard Mojo, not the Click sight. Both are very sturdy, but as has been said, aren't going to work as well since they're farther from your eye.
I have the old style, non-microclick Mojo on my Arsenal SLR-101SG.
As you can see, it doesn't extend back over the receiver like a diving board. It's fully as rugged as the regular old tangent sight. Williams also makes replacement peeps for AKs and SKSes but they are made from aluminum, not machined from steel like the Mojos.
For the naysayers, even though the aperture is forward, it is still a major improvement over the open notch for both precision and target acquisition speed. I've had the Mojo on this rifle for a couple years and liked it a lot. A couple weeks I shot it in a practical carbine match for the first time and that clinched it for me. I ordered two more so I can similarly upgrade my MAK-90 and SAM-5.
