I do not like tech sights and would like to keep to stock sight. Does anyone have pictures or instructions of how they modified their stock rear sight to mke it usable?

Quoted:
Order the thinner front sight from techsights for $7, and widen and deepen the rear notch just a tad. That's all I do to my sks' s and ak's, and it is a big improvement. What do you use to do this? My sight measures .045" in width. I see most people are going to 1/8", which seems extreme. I'l like to try 1/16" to 0.080". Most files are see are 1/8" in width. |

Look for needle files, I've seen 1/16". |

I use a jewelers file. Picked up a set at Harbor Freight a few years ago for cheap. I use the one that is tapered like a knife to start the cut, then finish with the flat file. I have seen people use a drill bit on low speed to also make a cut in from the top.
I don't open up the rear much, it only takes a little bit to make a big difference in the view. |
