Zastava DMR Showdown: M76 vs M91 at the Range
Yugoslavia
•
10m
Edit: I said 100 yards in the video; this was all shot at 200 yards. Sorry!
Time to compare the Zastava over-sized AKs! Today I'm out at the range for a comparison shutoff between a Yugoslav M76 and a Serbian M91, both Kalashnikov-based DMRs made by the Zastava factory. The M76 is chambered for 8mm Mauser, with a pistol grip and a centerline scope. The M91 uses 7.62x54R ammunition, with a thumbhole stock and offset scope mount.
My conclusions? They both shoot the same. I like the handling of the M76 better, but as an American receiver kit-built, it just isn't a reliable rifle. For something that can actually be counted on to run, the M91 is a much better choice.

Not having the technical data package to manufacture the SVD, the Zastava factory set about scaling up its M70 Kalashnikov to meet this requirement. The ...

If I could have any one machine gun (but only one), it would be a PKM - in my experience thus far, this is the best universal machine gun that has been designed. Kalashnikov's design team took the lessons of the MG42 and created a machine gun that does an excellent job of balancing the capabiliti...

The PK machine gun was developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov's engineering team right about the time they were putting the finishing touches on the AKM. The PK is in many ways an AK rifle action enlarged, flipped upside-down, and mated with a belt feed mechanism. It uses the same belt design as the pr...
