WTB: Yugo M76 Rifle

[majormadmax]

I know it's a longshot (pun intended! ), but I am looking to add a Yugo M76--an example of which is below--to my collection.

Anyone have one they're willing to sell? If so, let me know!

Cheers! M2

Well, since I got such an overwhelming response to this thread, I just went out and got one myself!

And just for shits & giggles, here's a pic of a 7.62x39 AK round next to a 8mm Mauser like this rifle uses...

Cheers! N2

Nice! Let us know how that bipod does. There seems to be a general consensus that they really degrade accuracy.

Now go buy some of the surplus Yugo M75 8mm "Sniper" ammo before it's all gone.

Where did you end up getting it from?

I got it from J&G, they finally got some in stock and I had to jump. They've been tough to find as of late, and this is actually the first one I've ever seen in person. There was a write-up on the M76 in the latest issue of Guns & Ammo Complete Book of the AK-47 by a former Spetsnaz sniper that finally convinced me to hunt one down. I was thinking about getting a PSL, but for a few hundred more I think the M76 is a better rifle.

As for the bipod, it's more just to prop the rifle up for the pics. It's the standard AK/SKS one that temporarily clamps on the barrel...

A bud of mine described the M76 as looking like "the AK version of the BAR," I kinda like that analogy!

Cheers! M2

That's gorgeous.
