Same as the AK, FWIW. Take it out and measure it with a metric pitch & size tool.
M6x.75" according to Kensights description on Midway.

The Ak/SKS sight post are both M6x.75 and pretty much interchangeable, the only difference is, typically the Ak post is just a little longer.entropy wrote:Same as the AK, FWIW. Take it out and measure it with a metric pitch & size tool.

Re: SKS Front Sight Post
We bought a set of the multicolored ones, the wife put an orange one in her Chinese SKS and she can see much better.
