I need ideas for sights for my Saigas. I love the HK sights but everyone has them. I was looking at the Benelli M2's but can't seem to find just the sights.

Any good ideas and sources for sights ?

Brownells, they have some tritium night sights, ghost rings for 870s and stuff. I am thinking about using those myself.

Speaking of sights, what do people think about making up an AK style front sight assembly for the S-12? I can't decide if I want to do that, or leave it on the gas block

I like the Krebs Custom sight, but it's a bit pricey.

bout halfway down the page.

I think I might just go with one of these.:grinpimp:

What I am interested in is your idea of making a Krink type hinged dust cover with a length of rail and a HK site mounted on it. I know actual Krink parts are prety hard to come by but with some detailed pics (this is where you come in) someone might be able to build a suitable knockoff from scratch.

I've been installing those lately and I like the sight but I can't stand the "bolted on" look at all.
I love the Krink hinged covers, shouldn't be too hard to do.


Still looking

There are also tritium inserts for the HK sights, $65 and up.

Well I do have two krink kits here ;)

Please do, seems anything cool in on backorder and the monkeys are not making anything, even though lots are trying to buy...

That is what I am planning to do to mine. Install a rear sight base from a regular AK and then all my AKs will be the same sight wise.

I really like this setup for getting the AK look.

Is that S12 signed by Ted Nugent :laughing:?

Does anyone make a mount for something like a Burris Fastfire to mount in the dovetail groove at the rear of a stock Saiga rib? Something that simple would probably suit me just fine.

Looks like what I am doing with my Krinkov block.
I think that with a piece of Scotts rail I can make a mount similar to NodakSpuds krinkov mount and then use a TRD for a red dot. Want it co aligned with the sights.
Still thinking about HK sights so they are tall enough to coalign

I do really like that wood look. But I am still planning on an SBS and paint it to match my space gun.

I wonder if this guy could do that with an Ultimak gas tube... That'd be pretty sweet.
