Hi all! I posted here and on Tuco's a few weeks ago when I first got and installed a Mojo aperture sight on my Yugo 48. I promised I'd report on how it worked. Weather finally permitted a trip to the range, so here's my story.
I've gotten very used to the sight picture the Mojo's aperture affords over the last couple of weeks (Just 'cause it's too nasty to shoot doesn't mean it's too nasty to aim!). While I initially thought I would have liked a smaller aperture (Mojo will make them whatever size you request), the stock size now seems to me to be the absolute perfect for framing the 48's rather thick flat-topped wedge of a front sight. Shooting at 100 yards seemed to back this up: my groups (formerly 3-4" with the 48's horrible fuzzy-notched tangent sights - I KNEW the rifle could do better than that) shrank to honest 1.5" 5-shot groups. (It's odd, since I've always used peep sights that were right back next to my eye, but Mojo's replace-the-rear-sight arrangement works fine.)
Interestingly (or rather," astonishingly"), the Mojo proved perfectly adjusted for me upon installation. As I installed it (basically just unwrapping the sight and popping it on), the Mojo shot dead-on for windage and 2.5" low at 100 yards. I fooled around with the windage (I have the new style Mojo with an allen-screw-driven windage adjustment, not the old style which used an allen screw to hold down a free-sliding aperture) and elevation screws just to make sure the adjustments worked (they did).
As I've mentioned when I first got the sight, the blue-steel Mojo aperture easily pops right into the rear sight base for the 48. I'm very happy to have an aperture sight that doesn't require me to drill holes in the receiver of my minty 48. This is a good product, and the service leads me to believe it's a great company (I'm not a shill, just a happy customer). I feel like now I can start to really appreciate this rifle, because I can shoot it accurately. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
cheers, erich
