Yugoslav M92: The Serbian 7.62x39mm Pseudo-Krink (Ad-free)

The best firearms reference books: https://www.headstamppublishing.com The Yugoslav M92 rifle is most often compared to the Soviet AKS-74U "Krinkov" - it is a compact, folding-stock version of Zastava's M70 AK, just as the 74U was the compact version of the AK-74 series. However, the M92 was actually not made for a particular military requirement but rather for commercial export sales. While it is based on the 7.62x39mm M70 family of rifles, it was released in 1992 after both the 5.56mm M80 and M90 series were in production. Today, it serves a significant role for Zastava as the basis for the "pistol" AKs imported into the US. Many thanks to the French IRCGN (Criminal Research Institute of the National Gendarmerie) for generously giving me access to film this specimen for you! They maintain an extensive firearms reference collection as part of their mission to fight crime and international terrorism. http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons http://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com

Its a hefty little gun. My SBR is made from a virgin 2005 kit with factory barrel. It's Short stiff barrel must be good because it will make an impressive group size from an AK. Its not really compact nor overly large - More of what an AK104 gets done.

On my 2005 gun, the front and rears have ampules of tritium (small rods) inserted into holes drilled into the rear leaf and front sight folding leaf - that 2012 gun looks like painted dots. probably radioisotope export restrictions limit import in some ways (if noticed) or as new on a BOM list.

How many firearms that the French IRCGN come out of the former Yugoslav republics? Watching European drill rap videos, most of the firearms they brandish are either fowling pieces or soviet based designs
