    Most of the stuff online is sadly coming from the states. Or at least the stuff I have seen.

    Hey guys, I managed to find one in the States two weeks ago and today, I received it.
    Its a ON-M76B, cammed for the 8mm, in VG shape, with 3 light ring marks... Probably marks from a RPK mount.

    Optic is clear but a tiny bit foggy...Maybe dirt...
    Reticle is really nice and the range finder too.
    Turrets looks and feel well made.

    I also found here on CGN, a bosnian m48 sniper with zrak mounts and a vintage Zeiss scope.
    I will use the Zeiss on another project and put this Zrak scope on the mauser

    Built by Bosnians but when anything goes wrong on these scopes do they then blame it on the Serbians ?

    Nice pre-war example. The scope on my forthcoming rifle is an '84 serial. I am still looking for an other one. There is a Iraqi made M76 scope with 7.62x54 turrets on eBay

    The price will jump in the last hour. I did win a auction of a M76-A, but the seller did not have the proper permits.

    The vast majority of these are in former Yugoslavia. I had a conversation with someone in Bosnia via email who did speak English. He told me that they are not allowed to export anything arms related with out proper permits, which are really tough to get. But I believe clarification is needed to confirm this.

    I received the rifle today.
    Now I have my tandzara sniper clone...
    I'm really surprised how the eye relief is good, about 3.5 inch.
    Enjoy

    Personally, I would blame in on the Filipinos myself. The Alternative is the Romanian Navy
