Zastava M-76
This sniper rifle is in common use by Yugoslavia and former Yugoslav countries. It comes in three calibers, the 8mm Mauser version being the most commonly used. The normal sight used is a copy of the PSO-1 sight used on the Russian Dragunov SVD and SVU; various Russian and Eastern European night vision devices. The sight bracket can also accept Russian-designed night vision scopes. Iron sights are also available. However, like the M-91 below, the M-76 is not a variant of the SVD; it is instead a modification of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, and even retains the use of a forged receiver like that of an AK-47. The barrel is of a heavier build than a Kalashnikov, is 21.7 inches long, and is tipped with long, slotted flash suppressor.
After the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, Crvena Zastava added the chamberings of 7.62mm NATO and 7.62mm Nagant to the M-76. These versions were developed more with an eye towards export sales than for use by Serbian forces. Other differences include a change in the iron sights and magazines to befit the new chamberings and sight mounts able to accept a wider variety of telescopic sights and night vision devices.
Another post-breakup version is the M-91; it too was built primarily for export. The M-91 differs from a 7.62mm Nagant-chambered M-76 primarily in the furniture – the stock is synthetic and skeletonized, looking very much like that of the Dragunov, and the pistol grip and fore-end/handguard are also synthetic. A folding bipod, adjustable for height and cant, has been added, and the buttplate and cheekpiece are adjustable. The scope mount is even more flexible than that of post-breakup M-76s.
Like most former Yugoslavian weapons, the M-76 was widely sold on the international arms market, though most export version were sold in 7.62mm Nagant caliber.
