I talked to the owner of Tech Sights. He said the sights for the AK do have a diopter effect, but that was not his intention when designing the sights. He said if you want to use them with the diopter effect that you could adjust the elevation with the sight post (with the dual apperatur flip sights) and if the tip of the sight post is close to the center of the hood, then your OK. If not, then he said to covert the sights to single apperatur with the TS220 Elevation Apperatur. Then you can adjust the sight post so that the tip of the post is in the center of the hood. Elevation is then adjusted at the rear sight.
From what I can gather, Tech Sights uses a similar rear sight design for the various rifles they make sights for, Ruger 10/22, Ruger Mini 14, SKS, Marlin, etc. Most of the rifles do not have round sight post hoods, and therefore do not cause a diopter effect.
