 I know this must be a strange question... but after using tech sights on my LTR, I finally put a set on my SKS. I looked through the peep and couldn't see the front sights at all. They were blocked by the rear sights.Has anyone else found this problem? Do you have to remove the rear sights to make it work right? I know that there are plenty of guys with them already installed. Help out those who are new or just new to the SKS tech sights.

Yes you have to remove the factory rear sight. I think it's in the installation instructions..... ;D
If ye love wealth better than liberty,the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,go home from us.We ask not your counsels or arms.Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Yes, remove the rear sight and make sure to use the included pin (with a flat on one side) to hold the spring down or it will interfere with your sight picture as well (don't ask me how I know).

FYI - article on Tech-Sight installation for an SKS from Surplus Rifle here:

"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
