I did a search but nothing came up. I started to replace the vials a while back and didnt do it and now I cant find the info. Are the Vial sizes
1.55x5mm or 1.47x5.5mm Or would they both work? The 1.55x5mm are about half the price! Thank's Doug |

If you dont have the proper sights there really isnt a way to mount them.
There are small channels that they slide into. I used some RTV to secure the ones on my rifle. Some yugos came with painted night sights. If thats what you have, glow in the dark paint is probably the simplest solution. |

Quoted: my yugo came bead blasted when I got it, on the night sights there were just indentations of where they were. just tiny divits where they were, thats why I wanted to see a pic of them installed. if mine takes painted sights whats a good source for the paint http://glowinc.com/detail.aspx?ID=41 I have not used it, but others have with good results.

| thanks, product looks good. now is there a way to fix my front night sight, I guess there must be a wire or spring for the front as mine just flaps around. I can see a pin to push out that must hold a wire or spring. Is there anything to fix that ive never seen a part like that for sale anywhere, or a pic of the part where maybe I can figure out how to make one. |

Quoted:
On Yugos, the painted night sights pre-date the tritium version. Century slaps on either version, you never know what you're going to get. I've even seen them mismatch them on the same rifle, with painted rear sights and tritium fronts, or vice versa. I know what you mean about the mismatch, My century M70 came with the tritium vial rear and a painted front night sight. I bought a front sight block with the vial from apex, and installed the flip up portion onto my existing front sight block. Replaced those vials, and now im good to go. |
