Can the average handy-home shooter install this kit or is it something best done by a trained gunsmith/

The kit is an easy install, just watch the Apex video on YouTube as you proceed. No need to pay a gunsmith.

I installed the kit myself. I watched the video and because I didn't have a brass punch I used a thick piece of leather to take out the rear sight. Worked great for me. The kit made a world of difference in the way it shot.

I was able to put it in just fine. I'm handy, but by no means a gunsmith. Make sure you get a good brass punch set so you don't mar the finish. Also, take a wax pencil or something like that to mark the position of the rear sight before you move it to the side. A sight press made (I got something like this: http://www.sightpusher.com/) it much easier to remove the sight, but you could probably tap it off with the punches. Good luck! This trigger made all the difference.

You can do it but id reccomendation taking it to a gunsmith as I did. The gun smith did say it took a lot more work than expected a lot more tweeking (no he did not say that to charge me extra)

you have to be able to break the gun down. easy to install. check you tube for info on how to disassemble and reassemble.

I own a M24 Yugo. There was absolutely NO drilling required on my installation. An easy 5 minute task that anyone can do. You will need a Scout scope as the eye relief is a little ways out there. This is the only answer to scoping this rifle unless you are willing to remove your rear sight. I have also placed a removable cheek rest/riser on the stock to make the rifle more comfortable to shoot.

Definitely not; however, it really helps to have the glock disassembly tool. Just watch a video on YouTube and you'll see it's a breeze.

No gunsmith needed. Just take off old mount. Put new mount down so 2 screw holes are visible screw it down maybe use some loctite if you want. Takes 2 minutes too instal if that

I think they will...but I would consult a gun smith on the matter also have him install them

Yes, if it's a hand gun. I would bolt it down. It comes with bolts and pre drilled holes.

Yes, but will require hand fitting. A good gunsmith file and a digital micrometer will be helpful.

Just call and talk to your local gunsmith or Call Kimber who also owns Meprolight ask them fo advice. Most shooting ranges that also have gunsmith can help as that is who installed mine for me for a Grant bill.

Yes. There is even a Youtube video showing a regular guy doing it. I don't own a drill press and I didn't want to mess it up. I tried to find a gunsmith to do it but they get all high and mighty when you ask them to work on an evil assault weapon. I took it to a machine shop to get the holes drilled. The plate is to be mounted 10mm (1cm) below and paralled to the top lip of the receiver.

You will need a few tools. A rivet gun is the biggest thing you will need that might not be in your tool box.

Pick the proper dia head for the gun and screw it into the gun end first. This is determined by putting the nail into the gun hole with the best fit. Otherwise James pretty much "nailed" it:) I have a much smaller rivet gun for most jobs with tighter spaces.

If you have basic hand tools and a couple of hours you can install them. The instructions are well written. Ps make sure that you final tighten everything that you loosened or took off. and use locktite.

No gunsmith; all tools, parts and installations are in the package. I went to a gun store for verification. The salesperson verified my assembly with a "well done" with no $$$$$$$charge.

Yes. No Problem. Installed them on mine in about 15 mins (first time I have ever done this). You'll need the Glock tool for the front site and I put a tiny dab of Loctite on mine, 2k rounds later and no problems. Be careful with the rear site though, there is a small spring under it which will pop out and if you're not careful you can lose it.
