I'm thinking about getting a TS100, or TS200 sight for my SKS. Anybody know about them?

I never seen them before.
Looks like a decent idea though.
I can already see future problems with them shifting over time though.
I wonder how well the set screws keep tight if you at least don't dimple the back of the receiver and cover to hold them in place?

I had a set for my 10/22. Solidly built, operated just like AR sights. I only changed them out because on the 10/22 they stand up a bit higher than I wanted.

I picked up the TS100 for a Yugo SKS. The holes for the latch pin on the TS100 do not line up with the existing holes on the receiver. On the left side it looks like I'm going to have to trim some off the stock off to line it up.

I have same concerns as zteknik brought up: shifting over time since the latch pin (they replace it with a screw) is what holds it attached to the receiver and you remove the latch pin to clean... .dunno man.

Going to have BTP tactical take a look at the SKS overall once I'm out of the flu quarantine.

First thing I noticed. Pulling the sight every time you want to clean it......[Puke]

You're supposed to clean it?

I have this sight on my Russian SKS and it's much more user-friendly than the original, but I still can't seem to do any better than 4" "groups" at 100 yards, and that's with my handloads. I've given up on it ever doing better than that.
