I know of a couple people that replace tritium vials, I'll pick their brains to see if they can replace Kashtan dials.
Go on GunBroker and look for a seller by the name of ok131583 for Russian optics. |

Thanks. That's the only place I can find them as well. Don't let ok131583 know that though

Can the tritium be replaced in these? Also, where did they go? Kalinka doesn't carry them anymore. My understanding is that the manufacturer wanted far too much for subsequent shipments so Kalinka said no thanks. |

Why Kalinka is so rude with customers when asking about the scopes or whatever they are selling? I have asked few questions from different things in different times and they answer like in a rude way. I also do the public option question so people can get advantages the questions and answers and Kalinka blocks some questions so it will no go to public.

Did we ever find out if the tritium could get replaced? If it can't, I'll go with a PO 3.5

I hope someone work on these here in the US soon. I don't have the kashtan but I have the Obzor 1p63. |

The PO 3.5 is big and heavy, but it's FOV and crystal clear glass are second to none.

For me, the perfect home for my PO 3.5 is my M72 RPK. The weight of the PO is of no consequence with that rifle and the two go together well.

Thanks for all the replies everybody. One more, how old are the Kashtan's? Tritium has a half life of 12 years, how long ago were the sights made that we are seeing in the states?
Edit: Found it, looks like the first ones that made it over a few years back were made in late 2009. |

They are all current production. I would recommend it over the PO. It is lighter and less obtrusive. The tritium will last awhile and even when it dies the sight is very usable. By then, maybe there will be a way to re-light them. Regardless, it is not a deal breaker....for me at least. |

Woohoo, got it yesterday. It's actually nicer than I expected. The glass is really clear. The tritium isn't quite as bright as I expected but it more than works. Mine was manufactured in 2010 so I should have a good decade before it half life's.
