Tech Sight for AK

[GunTech]

Received my Tech Sight for my AK-74 clone today and after about 15 minutes of very minor fitting (including milling off the original rear sight), got it all installed. At $110, it is definitely not the cheapest option on the market but it is solid, well made and looks nice. Finally a decent rear peep for the AK.

I am looking forward to testing the rifle with new sight tomorrow. Will post more info but so far very impressed.

Seen one, seen 'em all. Keep us updated on how it shoots.

Some pics. Sorry about the quality.

I have a Century with the notorious cocked front sight. Nevertheless, I was able to get the rifle sighted in with the new rear sight. The peep was all the way over to the right side, so I corrected the front sight alignment with a few well aimed hammer blows and got it to shoot point of aim with the font and rear sights pretty close to centered.

I was able to shoot 1 inch groups at 50 yards without difficulty. I ran out of time so didn't get to try any longer ranges.

The sight is very tight on the rear slot and I did not need to use the set screw included to obtain a good fit. Removing the top cover now requires a pointed object like a bullet top in order to remove.

All in all, a very nice addition to the AK.

Is the finish on the new top cover as gray as it appears in your pics or is it simply due to the camera?

I have been a VERY happy owner of a TS100 for my SKS for several years now. I have wanted a AK tech sight for my saiga, but the price has always kept me away. I'm glad to see that tech-sight has put out another quality product.

Top cover is grey parkerized. The rifle is painted.
