I want to install a tritium front sight post on my Russian, Tula-made SKS.

I have seen some advertised for SKS, but text says "type 56".  I have also seen Trit front sight posts for AKs.

So the question is:  Is there any difference between the front sight post of my TULA SKS, and other SKS/AK front sight posts?

Thanks for reading!

The thread pitch should be the same between SKS variants and also AKs. The AKs will be longer/ taller.

I’d say go lurk on SKS boards but it looks like they’re gone.

Maybe over on YooperJ

The front sight post I bought from KenSights, which was labeled a little differently/confusingly when I bought it, fits my TULA SKS perfectly.  Standard SKS front sight tool fits properly.

I had to send the first one back to them because the Trit vial was not installed.  They sent me a post-paid label, and turnaround was quick.
