Sight Options for Zastava M92 PAP

[JohnC]

So I've had some time with my AK47 Pistol and I am not digging the sights. I don't have really good vision and they just plain don't stand out enough.

Are there any after-market options to replace these factory sights with?

[Oh Shoot]

Most do a red dot by changing to a railed top cover on fore end, or drilling and/or tapping dust cover for one of several add on rails, several makers.  Also, TWS  makes a railed replacement dust cover that locks in better than the stock one, supposed to not vary like normal one.  They also make a peep sight, but you still I think need their dust cover to mount it.

Here's just one thread in arfcom section, if you look around in that section you can find more.

Also, if you can find it, Dolo made a custom peep from the existing sight on one he had for awhile, using a steel washer or similar.  I couldn't find it right off maybe he'll chime in.

 

I decided to just live with mine for a while, probably for good -- one thing, did you black out the white number and dots on it? That helps a lot actually. Some also file it into more of a V notch.

Interesting. I like small, so this one appealed to me over the gigantic optics I seen on some.
 


This isn't bad, but not sure I'd want a sight so far forward:



Decisions.... hmmmm

[Oh Shoot]

I guess if I cared enough to optimize the thing, I'd go with the TWS "Dog Leg" cover with peep, whether I used another optic or not.

 

Reviews say it's good and solid the way it latches in,  doesn't change when popping cover open and closed:

I know cowitnessing may not be a big factor for you, but if you're like me cheek weld is. The Midwest industries handguard and optic specific top covers were the only option I could find to get a good cheek weld, and a bonus is cowitness, or at least being able to use irons through the optic. With a regular railed top cover the optic was too high for me to get a decent cheek weld. This is on a Saiga, but same concept. They make a top half for a Burris fast fire, RMR, etc. if you were interested in that.

I'm a big fan of the TWS and the minute they released it for the M92, I got one. I have them on all my other AK's. Much better than the stock m92 cover.
Get Kel-Tecs peep sight for the SU-16. Windage adjustable and half the cost of the TWS. It also co witnesses (lower 1/3) with some optics. I run mine with a Burris FastFire III.

Good tip there, the mention of the cheaper and better Kel-Tec peep is actually making me lean toward doing this next time I can blow off some bucks on something I really don't need at all. :)

 

It would look pretty cool on this baby though, I admit, and I'd probably even be able to hit a certain part of a pie plate instead of just the plate period (most of the time), as the rear sight really is pretty crummy. :)

The factory rear sight is worse than crummy. If you hold it out like a pistol, good luck hitting much. I did ok in the indoor range with it. But outdoors, I was just wasting ammo. lol

That pica-tinny top cover seems like it would work out well with a small red-dot optic!

Thanks for the help, all.

Kel-Tec makes two. The polymer version is real cheap and then they have the aluminum version which is what I always get.

AL version $27 - SKU# SU16B-365

Polymer versions $3 SKU# SU16-230

Wow, that version must be quite the precision piece of work, huh? ;)

I think y'all just cost me some cash and it will be more than 3 dollars worth....

 

I had added the short rail to the top cover and it turned out good but the long rail now offered is really nice and offers up more options.
