'bout time there was a new post here. That's the only thing I don't like about the civilian Mak's (the adj sight).

Loc Tite or teflon tape the screw. They are known for 'getting lost'.

Never had a problem with mine, it is tight.

You can purchase an aftermarket fixed sight to replace the problem IJ-70 adjustable sight. I've seen them and they look like they great. Here's the link:

I have had mine for 11 years now and never had a problem...

My rear site has taken a lot of abuse with working the slide one handed against a wood table, on the heel of my boot, and hooking it on my front pocket. Have not had a problem yet.

I like mine a lot. I swaped out the rear sight for the fixed one linked in the post above.

Personally I like adjustable sights on guns, but some of the Mak sights I've seen had a lot of play. Just not very high quality workmanship.

I recently bought a 16th Mak, a NIB IJ70-18A. It's got a nice tight adjustable sight.

I took the spring out, shimmed the sight with washers to dial in elevation and loctited the screw in.
