Most Helpful Positive Review excellent upgrade for your AK
This front sight fit my C39v2 perfectly. The machining is great. I like the overall shape, especially how it widens at the base. The tritium dot helps improve the AK sight picture a great deal. Tritium could be a little brighter, but honestly it's about as good as any trijicon night sight and for half the price. I would buy this item first before spending more on other brands.

meprolight AK front sight post

by John, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on November 14, 2025
4 stars because I only installed it and haven’t used it yet . It gives adequate glow to more effectively pick up the front post . A con I see and was mentioned, you won’t be able to fine tune it as you would the factory front post because of the inherent design . To me this equates into decreased longer range precision . I hope to update as I use .

Does the Job

by steve, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on February 24, 2022
Fit loosely in my standard akm style front post, won’t work with ak sight tool, and will not fit (unless it’s cut down) on the Yugo pistols. Otherwise it’s a nice visible glow and isn’t so big that it messes with the sight picture. It’s a drop in night sight that works, can’t complain too much.
Pros:
  • Price
  • bright
  • easy to install
Cons:
  • Loose
Would recommend: Yes

Disappointment

by Mike, from FL, United States Written on May 8, 2019
Green light was not as intense as my other tritium sights. May be older manufacture date? Thread was loose in my Romanian front sight body. Had to bottom out the sight to have the tritium capsule in line of view.
Pros:
  • Price
Cons:
  • Not bright enough
Would recommend: No

Great additions

by Matt Rod, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on November 1, 2018
Very easy to install, very bright, makes alignment very fast. Slightly wider than standard post. Difficult to hit targets over 100 yards because the post is so big. A quick adjustment to the battle zero setting at the rear sight leaf fixed the issue with the large post, now 18" groups can be easily obtained out to 350 yards. Very cool product to achieve combat accuracy in all light conditions.
Pros:
  • easy to install
  • great at night or low light scenarios
Cons:
  • Non a all-around around great product
Would recommend: Yes

Handy and easy

by Lear, from FL, United States Written on May 27, 2018
Good night sight if you like to keep it simple. A little big but it gets the job done. I'm using mine with a peep sight without too much trouble but I'm not looking for sub moa with this product. Installation is easy as you would expect and the tritium stands out just fine in low light.

A must upgrade to any Kalashnikov

by Bob19, from MT, United States Written on October 21, 2016
Fits my Bulgarian SLR 101S and Saiga .308. Make sure you don't push the metal tongue too much otherwise the sight will be very loose fitting. Use pliers to pull up on the metal tongue after removing the rear sight. Reinsert sight.

Great options for Home Defense in low light.
Pros:
  • Tritium
  • Fits a wide variety of AKM
  • See in low light
Cons:
  • Price can be a factor
Best Used for:
  • Home Defense
  • Tactical
  • Range use
Would recommend: Yes
