Yugoslavian M90 .308 ?sidefolder? HELP!

[YANKEEBOBB]

I need help on a rifle I just got. I can't find anything on it!!!!

It's the Yugo m90 in .308 which are rare enough but after searching and searching, I can't find anything on a SIDE folding version!! I was wondering if this may have been put on here when imported by Mitchel Arms or is it an original Para version which someone sugested?

I have the scope rings but no scope, here's a pic of my wife showing it.

looks like an after market galil stock.

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

Yeah, it looks like the stocks people like to use as a replacement on the polymer Valmet stocks.

[YANKEEBOBB]

Ya'll think the regular Yugo AK stock'll fit?

I'll try tomorrow, I compared 'em and looks like it'll work!

[BRAVO JULIET]

judging by your photo, id say its worth a try.

[YANKEEBOBB]

I'm with you on the Galil stock looks like it, had one before, but strange that it would fit so right or someone would do that.


Thanx for the help bro!

[BRAVO JULIET]

no prob man,

[BRAVO JULIET]

she is a buet.

[YANKEEBOBB]

Thsnks again. Here's a couple more shots of the M90 and the regular Zastava AK. Man, my wife's gets so f*ckin' pissed when I post her pics, but f*ck it it's for research on my new rifle!


Hey, we should start a Wives and girlfriends showing off uniforms, gear and weapons thread, Huh?

[BRAVO JULIET]

you know dude, i think that the galil-ish stock really complements the rifle, does it not work well with the .308?

[BRAVO JULIET]

for the time being i would be short on photos.:-( but i could probably find some

[alvarhanso]

There is no side folding version, Zastava Arms produces these versions....

But i think the Galil stock looks great on it.

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

Yeah, it does look pretty cool. If you replace the stock, you should atleast keep the folder and maybe put it on another AK.

[YANKEEBOBB]

No don't get me wrong guys the stock works great with the weapon and feels great. I just like 'em set up the original way.

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

No I understand, I'm kinda that way too. But still, that's a nice stock, and I'd keep it somewhere so I could use it in the future.

That looks like an ACE skeleton stock mate ;)

[pimpdawgin]

You don't understand how jealous I am right now. Just being in possession of that rifle where I live (Kanada), would net you, like 8 years in jail. Oh, and any mags are capped at 5. Hooray!

[YANKEEBOBB]

Sorry for the waist of time here! Really don't know why it took me this long to figure this one out, too much boozing lately's affecting the few brain cells I got left! I guess! All I had to do is swap out the stock from the regular Yugo AK. did'nt think it was the same size but that's what I get for trying to think, right! Anyway here's what it looks like now! Now to get another stock and put my other baby back together. Ain't they prrrty! p-)


Next problem will be finding an original Yugo scope! Don't think that'll happen, but any ideas where to look. The .308 mags are also a bitch! When available they're high as hell!

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

Lol, you should check out Valmet 223 mags. Those are really expensive, and run $100 at minimum most of the time.

The scopes for the Yugo M76 sniper were made by a Bosnian factory called "Zrak".

http://www.zrak.ba/

There's no direct link but you can find it under ...military products, snipers optical sight...

It's the ON-M76, good luck with your search.

[REMOV]

It's the Yugo m90 in .308 which are rare enoughIt is 7,62-mm (7,62 mm x 51 NATO) Zastava M77 not M90.
I can't find anything on a SIDE folding version!AFAIK there are two versions of the M77 with folding stock M77 AX (see pictures below) and M77 BX.

[YANKEEBOBB]

That's what I've known them until I got this one, but my rifle is marked M90 over the M77 marking.

Thanks for the scope link bro!

[BRAVO JULIET]

thats just the tapco side folder, which century apperantly has a hard on for, cause they put it on everything, god i hate that stock.

[YANKEEBOBB]

Now for the other question that's got me curious. As REMOV said, I've known tbese as M77's, why would this be markes M90? Is it just the imported version name?

[BRAVO JULIET]

i know the m76 is the 8mm version, as for the m90 im not sure.

[YANKEEBOBB]

i know the m76 is the 8mm version, as for the m90 im not sure.

Right, M77 - .308 and M76 -8MM I actualy have the M77 but again it's marked over as M90? I'll keep researchin, thanks to all for your help!

[BRAVO JULIET]

hate to add to the confusion but all the info im finding on the mitchell yugo m90 is 7.62

edit- apperantly mitchell imported the m90 right before the ban in a 7.62 model and a rpk that they still labeled M90- but in .308

[REMOV]

Right, M77 - .308 and M76 -8MMIn fact is a little bit complicated.
M70 assault rifle, M72 automatic rifle and M92 carbine are fed by 7,62 mm x 39 cartridge
M77 battle rifle and automatic rifle are fed by 7,62 mm x 51 cartridge
M76 sniper rifle is fed by 7,92 mm x 57 cartridge
M90 and M95 assault rifle, M82 automatic rifle, M85 and M99 carbine are fed by 5,56 mm x 45 cartridge.
I actualy have the M77 but again it's marked over as M90?In my opinion is just a name the Mitchell markings not the original ones. There were Mitchell Yugos M90 in various calibres like 7,62 mm x 39, 5,56 mm x 45 or 7,62 mm x 51.

Not confusing at all, that's just what the rifles are, like the AK47, AK74, etc... But good info for those who don't know, I should have been clearer, sorry if I through you guys off a bit.

I totally agree, that's what Got me confused and as I said that was my theory to the M90 deal?


Thanks for sumerizing it up though, I apreciate all your help guys. I'm an american Serb and been interested in the history and collecting Yugo militaria and weapons and equipt. a long time, but this folding stock thing had me stumped more than anything!

Hvala!
