I'm converting my two OPAP rifles into more correct looking M70 rifles.  I have the Gas Blocks with the flip-up grenade sights and an East German rear sling point... One of the OPAPs will have a fixed stock and the other, a folding stock.

Also, during this conversion, I will be removing the L/S scope rails and having the holes filled/repaired...  As for refinishing them, I'm hoping to have them re-blued.  If that's not possible, then a Duracoat type product finish that can mimic the current factory bluing finish... Within reason.

Anyway, the only items I'm missing are the Front and Rear Night Sights.  I've check with R-Guns and Apex, but they do not stock any Yugo/Serb night sights at this point.  With that being said, I was wondering if any members here might know of a place there I can find two sets...  New would be nice, but I'm very open to used sets, as long as they look new or like-new.

Thanks for any advice and/or leads!!

I was looking for the night sights myself. I decided to just order an RPK kit  (a little cheaper) from Apex and have some spare parts left over.
Edit: I just needed the front night sight and spring metal. If you need the rear too you'll have to get a rifle kit.

I'm surprised Apex doesn't have any, I'm sure I've seen them there in the not-too-distant past. Have you tried desert fox?

Theres a guy in the ee here that has rpk parts. I know he has the correct rear sling loops. I think he has front sight towers too. Worth checking. I think his name is valleyrat.

Axe has them but you must buy the whole front sight block and rear.  Night sights are easy to swap or install. I've personally bought 3 sets of the them and I always specify in the comments I let them know I want the tritium versions. If not you might get the green painted dot version, then I go to akfiles and buy the tritium to install into the sights.
