The Yugoslavian M-76 Sniper
Century's Sensational Version Is Built With Many Original Parts
 
             
   
  The M-76 is an unusual big-bore AK, being chambered in the 7.92x57 Mauser rather than
Russia’s 7.62x54R. The M-76 pistol grip is unusually ergonomical and comfortable.
 
                     
 

Made by Zastava and adopted by the Serbian Army in 1976, the Yugoslavian M-76 sniper rifle in 8mm Mauser made the press often enough in Kosovo and Bosnia during the wars of the 1990s to assure its place in modern sniping history. How good was it? Thanks to Century International Arms new M-76 offerings, we came away from the range exceedingly impressed with the accuracy and overall performance of the design.

Similar in concept to the Russian Dragunov and the more familiar Romanian PSL, the M-76 is a Kalashnikov variant. It looks like a large AK. It follows the design of the AK, and it disassembles like an AK. It’s really an RPK-type AK on steroids. Therein lies one of its inherent qualities. Its operation, disassembly and maintenance are immediately familiar to the average Kalashnikov toting conscript.
