Ive just picked up a Century Arms Yugo M70AB2T Sporter under folder. Does anyone have any info/ opinions about the barrels Century puts on these? Also, Why do they deactivate the night sights? Thanks guys.

In the past, Century has used Green Mountain as their barrel supplier, not sure if that is still the case today.  Green Mountain generally has a good rep as a barrel manufacturer.



Century does not deactivate the night sights, the tritium or phosphorescent paint (depending on the sight type) dies a natural death over time.  Some still work, my Century M70B1 still has tritium that actually glows pretty well yet.

Ive always heard good things about Green Mountain. As for the sights, the pots on mine are completely empty. I read somewhere that the sights are deactivated but there was no reason or process given. Does anyone know of a way to "reactivate" them? Id sure like to save the $$.
