The VST folding front sight and gas block is an all-steel,
flip-up design, with spring loaded detents. There is no lock so if
the sight gets hit, the sight will fold down rather than damage a
locking mechanism. The VST-1 series incorporates a QD sling swivel
cup mount while the VST-2 does not. All models use an AK47/AKM/AK74
front sight post. This allows the user adjust the sight, for
elevation, with the use of a simple AK cleaning kit.
Despite the VST's solid construction, it actually weighs less
than a standard A2 front sight tower. The VST is currently
available in cross-bolt clamp design, with and without QD-sling
swivel mount and a taper-pin version (gunsmith installed) is
currently available with and without QD-sling swivel mount.
Installation note: The installation of the VST should only be
performed by a qualified gunsmith and/or certified armorer.
The clamping system has been carefully designed to provide an
unparalleled hold when installed properly. During testing, the
VST-1 withstood over 100 ft/lbs of rotational torque and is
stronger than the barrel’s receiver indexing pin.
Models:

VST-1P: Pinned version with sling swivel socket
VST-2C: Clamp version without sling swivel socket
