M48 sniper

Umm, Hadzici... Last "DU" I saw was a chunk of L1011 counterbalance weight that some knothead wanted me to machine for a rivet set. Sent him away PDQ!


Not exactly a vaction wonderland, I should think. Maybe staying in France isn't such a bad idea.

What I was referring to is that Yugo Mausers were refurbed at a number of different shsops only one of whose (1.TRZ- TRZ= Tehnicki Remontni Zavod- Technical maintenance and repair Institute-) location was known (Cacak, Serbia). There was a second hand (somebody told me) report that TRZ.5 was at Hadzici but no documentation and Branko would only deny any knowledge of its whereabouts. A friend and I set out to to verify or otherwise find the location. We were able to amass enough evidence that we could be reasonably certain and state that the Yugoslav Mausers reworked at and stamped/engraved TRZ.5 (or TRZ-5) were done at Hadzici, very likely at the predecessor to TRZ-H (H for Hadzici). Evidence included NATO reports, Personal interviews, and other such records. We published our findings in an article in the MILITARY RIFLE JOURNAL titled "TRZ.5, ALL ROADS LEAD TO HADZICI."

So far, none of the other locations have be located though some evidence suggests that TR137 was nearby or possibly even in Hadzici since their are a great number of work shops in the area. Getting information from the area is very difficult due to past ethnic violence, soil and water contamination from munitions including depleted uranium being scattered in the area from NATO bombing.
Anyway, this goes waayyy beyond the scope of this topic... sorry.
