Info on new sights for siaga

[jt1911]

I was thinking about getting the krebs peep sight and the xs tritium front sight( the stripe one) for my saiga. They're a bit pricey and plus the guy recommended me get a windage tool that also costs like $60. But from what I've read they make a big difference. Just curious if anybody has any experience with these sights and how hard they are to install. Also do I really need a tool to adjust the windage? Just while I'm on the subject, I have no clue how/when to work my windage and elevation on the saiga, let alone how to zero it. Can someone throw me a bone?

check around on the Saiga 12 Forum, the whole forum is nothing but Saigas. Somewhere there you can find the answer..http://forum.saiga-12.com/

Don't rule out the Mojo peep sight either. I have a couple of these on AK's and really like them!

I think you can buy a tapco front sight tool for less than 20 bucks. You will have to first unscrew the front sight and then push out the sight drum. It should not be that hard. I want to get the same set up for my Saiga, so if you do this will you post the results? I am very curious.

Here is the tool you need for $6

The front sight move the opposite of the direction you want the bullet to impact. For example if you are shooting high, then you move the front sight down.

Thanks for the info! I couldn't believe it, that $6 tool looks exactly like the one a site was selling for $60! Ridiculous. Now I feel a little better about this. And I'll definitely do a post on how things go if I end up getting the setup, which I'm seriously considering. And thanks for the front site adjustment info. Do you know of any references for this? Never sited anything in my life.
