Saiga Sight Setup

[Beskytte]

I recently bought a Saiga in .223 and I'm trying to modify it to be a legal "sportical" rifle. I found the beryl rail system (http://store.carolinashooterssupply...36/Saiga-rifle-AK47-Beryl/Detail?sfs=33e7190b) and was interested in using it with the TWS peep sight (http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1150/TWS-REAR-PEEP-SIGHT/Detail?sfs=e0b42211).

My question: Does anyone already use this setup? Does it sight well? If no one uses the TWS, will someone measure the height between this rail and the front sight? It says the aperture is .375" above the rail surface.

Looking for any feedback on the subject, thanks.

Looks like no takers here. Have you tried this forum? >>> Saiga 12 Forum

Looks like I'd get better results there, thanks.

What do you mean by "Sportical"? The only thing I know of by that name is a DPMS AR-15. If you mean Sporter, it comes that way when you get it new. If you mean you're trying to modify it to have a pistol grip and stock like a standard AK, that's converting it. (though converting is an ambiguous verb and can be used in other situations as well).

If you get the dogleg rail and sight you listed, they'll work with your front sight post as is. You will have to remove the rear sight leaf to install the rail. You'll also have to remove the rail in order to field strip the weapon (unless they've upgraded it with some way to strip the weapon with the rail in place).

RE "sportical": Sounds like (reads like) a combination of "sporting" and "tactical".
