Description:
This is a relatively hard rifle to find. It is the famous Zastava M76 rifle which was designed in the 1970s as a designated marksman rifle. It was utilised by the Yugoslav People’s Army and later, by the Serbian Army. The rifle itself was essentially the classic AK47 upscaled to take the old and then plentiful 8x57 rounds left over from World War II. As Yugoslavia was still using the M53 light machine gun (a copy of the German MG42), this choice made some sense, though the two guns would not have used the exact same 8x57 Mauser ammo (the LMG would have used general 8x57 ammo, the M76 “match grade” ammo). The M76 was intended to use the Yugo M49 cartridge with a 197.53gr bullet. The rifle would see extensive use during the conflicts that arose during the break up of Yugoslavia. The rifle here was imported as a parts kit and a new receiver built by Assault Weapons of Ohio. It appears to have been fired very little, with few signs of wear. There is a relatively small area of wear in the finish on the dust cover. Naturally, as with all AK and AK-based rifles, there is a safety-induced wear line on the receiver. Otherwise, the rifle is in superb shape. The bore is bright and shiny. The rifle comes equipped with a genuine Zrak ON-M76B scope and scope mount. This was intended to be day/night scope with a tritium-fueled illuminated reticule. Needless to say, the illumination no longer works as tritium doesn’t last forever. It generally has a working life of 15 to 20 years. The M76 comes with no less than eight 10-round magazines and a magazine satchel with space for four of those. The scope also comes with a small soft cover/bag for transporting the scope separately from the rifle.
A small note and a bit of history on the caliber: The Guns International site, for whatever reason, does not have the correct ammo option for the M76, or the Kar 98K for that matter. There are two types of the basic, rimless 8x57mm Mauser cartridge: The I-bore and the S-Bore. The I stood for Infanterie (or Infantry in English) and utilized a .318-inch 220gr round nosed bullet. It was used in the Commission Model 1888 rifle. The later S-bore or Spitzegeschoss (pointed bullet or Spitzer) used a .323-inch 153gr Spitzer bullet and was primarily used in the Mauser Model 1898 rifle and its later iterations. Some, but not all of the older Commission rifles were modified to use the newer load. These rifles will be marked with an “S” on the receiver. Over time, the “I” in I-bore became distorted into a “J”, creating the “J-bore” moniker. It is important to note the S-bore ammunition should NEVER be used in older Commission rifles that do not have the “S” stamp. The .323 bullet passing through the tighter .318 bore will cause dangerous overpressures which WILL eventually wreck the gun with a high likelihood of causing serious injury to the shooter. To avoid lawsuits, most American manufacturers underload the 8x57mm Mauser to prevent accidents. This is where the fake “JS-bore” moniker comes from as it signifies the ammo is safe to use in both new and older rifles. European ammo makers usually load the 8x57mm to the correct S-bore loads. Another thing worth noting is that, while the cartridge is called the “8x57mm,” the original German name for the cartridge is 7.9x57mm. The more familiar name of “7.92x57mm” with the “2” in there comes from the Czech designation for the cartridge. The common 8x57mm name is an American creation.
