So I finally got to shoot my new Romanian AK-47 today after over a week of waiting, and after installing my new Tech Sights dual aperture adjustable rear sight. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with the sights, they are different than most aftermarket AK sight upgrades. The sights are actually quite solid due to the design. In order to withstand the abuse the AK rifle is known to endure, the sight is a solid metal piece that replaces the original rear recoil spring guide and actually attaches via the "T" slot used by the original recoil spring guide assembly.
Then, a new dust cover included with the sights is installed by depressing the two spring loaded retaining pins on each side of the rear sight, and sliding the dust cover holes over the pins to lock the cover in place.
And I really like them! I was just messing around today but the top group is 20 rounds of Tula SP ammo from 35ish yards, and on the shoot-n-see target is 5 rounds rapid fire at 50 yards. The sight picture is great, they zeroed easily, and I'm very impressed overall.
