You need a rear site pusher and a front site tool. Once you have the right tools it takes 10min tops

I wouldn't do it myself without the proper equipment. I paid like $10 to a Glock Gunsmith at a local gun show.

If you are good with your hands and tools there are plenty of videos on YouTube that show how to instal sights on your glock and other hand guns. But if you are not comfortable with handy work and simular type projects have gunsmith instal it. Sometimes its better safe than sorry.

The rear sight takes fitting. Take your time! I used knife sharpening stones, take a little off the bottom only, try to install and repeat. You want them to be a tight fit. For the front sight there is a tiny screw compared with stock, Use tweezers to position the screw in the slide and use finger to push firmly into hole. Now you can thread a couple of turns using the sight itself. After simply use a 5mm nut driver and blue locktite to tighten. Done!

I had a Glock smith install this. It took him 15 minutes. It cost me $20 for the installation. After the install, I love them. I don't recommend installing them yourself, unless you've done it before. They are definitely worth the installation.

Do not use a hammer and punch, only a glock sight tool, once you have the sight vice and front sight tool it is very easy, if you don't have them take them to a glock armor for instal

As others have said, it's a piece of cake if you have the right tools, but the right tool for the rear sight (called a "sight pusher"). I have one but it cost me well over $100. You can also use a hammer and punch, as long as the punch is made out of something that will not damage the slide, but that takes a while and is a bit of a pain. Unless you are a chronic gun tinkerer like me, I think that taking it to a gunsmith is the way to go.

Yes. You would have to purchase a low rise mount on here but it wouldn't be expensive.I honestly don't see you needing to change it! When you use the proper stance and have the correct cheek weld it should be perfect, this is a standard red dot height. Don't bend your neck and bring your eye to the sight, bring the gun and sight to your eye!

If it is a standard threaded barrel then you should be able to screw it right on. Make sure you either tack It down or take a wrench to it

Stephen,I am no gunsmith and I would recommend that you take it to a gunsmith. It may cost you 50.00 but to have the peace of mind that the gun is safe to operate is priceless. Sorry I couldn't just tell you what to do, it just isn't that simple.. Ken

It is fairly easy. Just take off the lower hand guard if it looks like the usual A2 style but shorter, leave the shielding in place (makes it easier). Get a "Magpul MOE Polymer Rail Sections" piece that runs about $6 for the short one. Attach as shown through the holes of the handguard (lower only). Now you have a rail section attached straight to the hand guard and works great. I have pictures if you have questions. There is also the mount the goes just in front of the front sight assembly and around the bayonet stud. Either should work, but the first works better if you plan on putting a light and laser on the later method. Good luck and have fun! It is fairly easy.

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.

This item requires the front sight to be soldered on. It's not easy and I would recommend finding a gunsmith willing to do it before purchasing. I tried contacting mossberg to see if they'd do it off me but never responded.

You could do it yourself but I would reccomend a gun smith just because of the reliability issue and for the price you can't go wrong. Mine only charged $30 to do this and well worth it knowing it's done right.

I had my gun smith install both. He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great. Regards. Helmut 1*

It comes complete with screws and it will work with the quick release mount. Unless your AK is already drilled, you will have to drill it yourself, that is not a big deal. No instructions comes with this and I mean none. Go on Youtube and you can watch a guy putting one on his AK. I got one for my son for Christmas and we installed it in about 30 minutes. Seems to be a really good, strong setup.

Yes it is. You will have to thread the barrel with a 14-1 left hand twist. I chopped mine down and had it threaded. However if your running it withy the front sight post your good. Just take it to a gunsmith it's pretty easy. Hope this helps

It was very simple. I purchased a couple 1 1/4" screws and screwed them in the appointed spot with a power drill. My mount is very secure and has held my gun in very tightly.

It was easy to install, I have not tried to uninstall it though. Read some comments when I bought it that it was easy to strip the retaining threads with repeated cycles, I wouldn't get it if you have to remove the trigger group each time you shoot.

Yes you can but you will probably need the help of a gunsmith for adjustments.

I cannot answer this for certain. However I can tell you this is a sight which I like very much. It mounts to a pickitinny sight rail which attaches to the top of the rifle. A gunsmith can do this for you--quite reasonably--if you have a good one locally, or if the barrel is already tapped for attachment rail or already has a rail on it you should be good to go.

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)

There are instructions in the box but to be honest, you won't need them. This is the easiest accessory to install. It will take you 5-10 minutes tops and that's just to adjust position on the rails.
