my real site is wobbling theres a screw but i dont htink it does anything
any help?

Wobbling as in left-right? If so, tighten your upper gas block screws (especially the Front Takedown Screw (The one that is directly in front of your rear sight), but not too tight. If it continues, then you may just be SOL and will have to try getting a new sight from somewhere.

Keep in mind, there is some play just because of how the sight is manufactured.

If your screw is striped , just take it out, drill a bigger hole and tap it one size bigger.

k thanks but where the sight is...theres that lever. does that do anything? should it even move?

Captain Tenneal · February 12th, 2008, 02:22

That, on a real AK is the takedown lever for the forward gas assembly (IIRC). On the TM/Kraken, it should not move at all, there is a groove for the lever to sit in. If you unscrew the phillips head (flat head on TM) screw, the lever will pull out and allow a full take down of your forward gas block.

Take a picture of it and post it here... All Ak sites wobble a bit, the chinese clone ones wobble substantially more.

Looks fine other then the clear plastic body and shiny-ness

Captain Tenneal · February 13th, 2008, 00:22

In comparison, yeah, the sight looks fine (albeit, brown, is that rust?)
