Yugo night sights...

Ive read more than a few times that the Yugos came with nite sights but mine(from Century) doesnt have them. Where can I get them at a decent price??
Cheers

The nights sights flip uo on the FSB and on the rear sight leaf. I bet they are there, but they may be burned out. Some used paint while newer ones used tritium

Yes, like jonpo said, they should be there, unless someone has changed the rear sight leaf and front sight block on your rifle [not very likely, but again, who knows?]. I have heard of some Zastava civilian semi-auto export models that didn’t have night sights. The M70-based Zastava PAP 7,62 Sporter for instance, does not come with the flip-up night sights.

Ive taken this rifle apart and inspected every mm of it and I am 100% positive there is no nite sights. Im actually really kind of pissed to hear that they are supposed to be there and they arent...

Again, like jonpo said, they could simply be burned out so that they don’t glow in the dark anymore. :) Doesn’t the sights on your rifle have a ‘flip’ feature on the back? Here’s links to a few good pictures from a great site that shows how the Yugo Zastava M70-series night sights are supposed to look:

thats is just wrong lol, i dont have the rear night sites XD

Does your yugo have a gas block shut off/ If not you might have one of the old ones from the late 80s or early 90s

its a gl capable, just does have the rear nightsights on it, fine with me i was going to put an modern 7.62 fornt end sitgh post w bayo lug on it anyway lol, i havea tantal muzzlebrake on it :)

Yes, mine has the gas block valve. When the front site is flipped up it is a flat black piece with no indentations or any signs of having anything ever on it. There is nothing on the rear sight either...
Oh well
