Yugoslavian M-76 Zastava Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle, 8mm

Yugoslavian M-76 Zastava Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle, 8mm This M76 Zastava semi-auto sniper rifle is in very good to excellent condition with a 10 round magazine. It has never been fired since I received it. It includes the ZRAK original scope with cover. Additional mags available in Dragonuv type pouches, four per pouch (see my other auctions). Rifle includes bayonet with scabbard, sling, soft side canvas carry case, and hard plasticcase. The M76 rifles are very hard to come by in this condition. The M76 semi-automatic sniper rifle was developed and manufactured by Zastava Arms of the former Yugoslavia. Since its introduction to the Yugoslavian military in the mid 1970’s it has become the standard issue sharpshooter rifle in the Serbian army. It is designed to fulfill the same role as the Soviet Dragunov SVD, which is to provide a designated marksman capability to the infantry platoon, but rather than being a Dragunov clone, it looks more like a lengthened AK-47 with a heavier barrel, a separate stock and pistol grip rather than the Dragunov’s thumbhole combination stock. Instead of the Dragunov’s 7.62×54mmR caliber it uses the 7.92×57mm Mauser a.k.a. the 7.9mm or 8×57mm IS round. This rifle was manufactured professionally by Patterson Machine.
