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.

Re: SKS Front Sight Post
Thanks all that responded ! I ended up getting a set of those colored plastic ones from Ebay. They fit fine, but was not that impressed with them. I had a few pieces of optic fiber rod aroung, so i drilled and glued in a piece of the rod into one of the plastic sight post. Happy with it !!!!
