Bubba'd milsurps found at craft show

[Hornychief]

Hey guys.
Today I was attending a local craft fare that also had a little corner for gun section.
Well I came across this and didn't know they existed.

The bloke selling it said it's all original yugo in sniper configuration. He couldn't tell me the year of it.
I got to play with it a bit and the optic had orange lens....

 

[ShawnC6]

Uhh, what

 

[inthehizzy]

Bubba'd? Why would a dedicated Marksman/'Sniper' rifle have a bayonette?

 

[Hornychief]

I don't know. Looked pretty good and don't appear to be bubba'd. I asked him how much he wanted and he said $1250. I got little weak on the knees at that stage lol
He also mentioned that it was new build. Like 80s or something is what the gentleman said

 

[BeaverMeat]

I know that gun. Big guy with a large voice at the table? He's completely full of sh!t.

Both of those Yugos are fakes. The SKS is a Century Arms set-up I believe. That is a Romanian PSL scope mounted with a Molot SKS rail.

Same goes for the M48... Strange setup for the Zrak optic.

 

[Hornychief]

Yup. That's the guy.
I wasn't convinced either. It's like putting a speed helmet on a turtle lol

So there we have it. Some snake-oil, slapped together Bubba-rifle. Follow your gut.

Looks like a Yugo M76 QD scope mount to me.
First time i see this mount on a Tandzara.

Arts and Crafts...

I had something like that SVD scope on a SKS D. Needed a sock and still was a chin rest. I only paid 450 lol

Happy? It reflected my knowledge of the subject at time of posting.

Ah....Bruno. He knows better than to pass stuff like this off, but these guns with BS provenance still turn up

Couple years ago had an M38 Mosin "sniper" for sale.

Given that, I'd doubt the authenticity of anything on the table.

Be very aware of what you are buying.

 

[Hornychief]

He also had m305 with boyd stock for like 900 and m305 with usgi stock for 650. Both were in poor condition

 

[Templar Knight]

There are scammers everywhere these days I guess....

They've been keeping the table cloth from blowing away for a good few years now lol

Pretty sure I saw that Yugo sniper at a recent gunshow in Winnipeg.
