How often are you going to be shooting at night? Zombies go to bed at sundown....
The majority of the night sights on Yugos have lost their glow. So I just accept that fact for what it is and call it a day shooter.

I've never shot with glow in the dark sights before, but I'd think that unless your target is illuminated, the glow from the sights would actually hamper your night vision. I personally just load a tracer every 3rd round for night time Zombie hunting

the original ones are phosphorus coated and that material was used as well on Military gauges in Vehicles. Its been outlawed now because it has radium in it. I imagine you could get a replacement sight off one thats been canabalized for parts. Check out the various parts places or look on gunbroker or ebay for replacement parts The later sights were tritum you may be able to find those if you ask around.

i like using incendiarys to shoot gas jugs taped to fibreglass propane bottles all around in the dark , it lights it up where you don't need night sights and makes for one h@ll of a zombie BBQ
sorry for the last post , i am getting a little giddy here , i was in a gun-shop somewhere and remember there was some brush on sight paint that glowed in the dark if i am not mistaken ..site glow is the brand i just googled it ..
