I want to add an optical sight to my Norinco SKS. Do I have to buy a certain sight and/or mount like this?

Yes they make special side mounts which i do not prefer.This mount has a picitny rail built on to it.All you have to do is a little filing and simply replaces other cover.As far as certain sights just make sure the rings fit picitny rail.Also i suggest a tactile scope or youll have empty cartridges bouncing off it.I used a 3-9Bug Blaster scope and love it on my sks.

I'd go with a side mount scope mount bracket. I bought this and it requires too much machining/filing to make it work for me on my yugo sks

The anwser is yes and no. NO if are willing to use your own dust cover and have a scope rail attached by having it drilled and tapped by a qualified gunsmith to fit the rail you provide. YES if you dont want to modify your dust cover. You can buy one of these modified dust covers with the scope rail already attached, BUT be aware that you may need to have a qualified gunsmith "fit" the new cover to your upper receiver. You can file it to fit yourself, but not a recommended procedure for novice. After all your life will depend on the results.

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.

This version comes with the low mount in order to accommodate how you look though the sight on shotgun and rifle stocks. If you are mounting it on an AR platform you want the extra high mount that they offer to make sighting in and possibly co witnessing your front sight post depending on what configuration you are running (fixed or back up sights) much easier. Hope this helps

If you buy a mount for it. I had mine mounted into the frame and co-witnessed with suppressor sights.

No....look up the sights for that gun. I have one too. Requires a different sight.

Reading some of the other reviews, others have put this sight in Remington 870s and Mossberg 500s. I plan to put one on a 500 myself.

Yes, it will come with the mounting brackets that will mount to the extra screw holes on your sight.

Yep... it will mount. And it has an adjustable laser tip, which allows you to pinpoint your sight better.

Minor file work to get it on my SKS.you could drill holes for the shell deflector.

Thats a good question. The burris comes with a pic mount and mounts directly to the rail.is this your primary optic. Send a pic of the offset mount.

Not these, but there are night sights available for sks, at least for the front by ameriglo. The rear one is going to be hard to find. The rear sight is more akin to a mosin nagant than an ak, but I am almost certain neither will fit. From what I understand about sks rifles, there is just as much flash coming out from around the bolt as there is coming out of the barrel when you fire an sks at night, temporarily messing up your ability to see at night. This is probably why most night sight companies don't bother making night sights for them. I could be wrong, but I would suggest if you can safely try firing it in the dark to try it and see if you haven't already.

I asked Kimber tech support, ordered the parts and then had Kimber install the sights. Recommend doing the same.

If you stll have the mount pin on the magazine tube. You also need the one on the stock.

It takes 1" mounts. If you're mounting it on an AR-15, I highly recommend the Nikon P Series mounts. Also sold by Amazon. On mine, I simply removed the carrying handle on the AR, and using the Nikon P Series mounts, mounted on right on top of the receiver. You might think that the front sight would be in the way, but it's not. This is a great combination. If I might make one more suggestion. If you are mounting it on an AR-15, I highly recommend you get a Sightmark laser boresight. I have them in 223, 25-06, 270,and 30-06. Also sold by Amazon. They will save you a lot of time and ammo. I sure hope this helps you. If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to try and answer them for you.

you're going to need an a mount. there is one that you can use to replace the rear sight though

The front of the mount attaches where the rear leaf sight attaches. The rear of the mount attaches at the the tang at the back of the receiver. You can use the existing tang screw, or you can buy an aftermarket "quick change" screw, but they are kind of bulky and ugly if you care about such things. To me they are worth it.
