You know what, after spending the day at Knob Creek today and getting to shoot at bowling pins and such at 50-100m, I must say the AK sights on my '74 aren't that bad. They are basically like holding a pistol a little too close to your face but very usable.
I spent a little time aiming and the rest of the time honing my "bumping" skills.
The ARFcom crowd was there today and I was doing so well at bumping from the shoulder with the '74 (strings of 20-30) they thought I had a post sample FA '74.
Hey, 20-30 is good for me, from the shoulder considering I can't practice that around here in NW IN.
I have to say after firing an MP5, MP5SD, UMP, G36E, G36K and a G33, I like HK sights much better than the AKs...
I am kind of partial to these sights.

All of my AKs, except my Hungarian, use the XS post. I do not open the rear up any, because it isnt needed IMO. My accuracy improved because the stock rear on my SAR1s was way too wide for a normal font sight. letting in so much light that the front sometimes washed out.
Paul Gomez was trying out the XS Big Dot AK site awhile back, and he was very happy with them. Still is so far as I know.
