Which Yugo is this?

[Jim]

Thanks for the info, Jim. There is not a lot out there on Yugo Mausers.

Try the book, Serbian & Yugoslav Mauser Rifles by Branko Bogdanovic, the Zastava historian and researcher for the Military Museum in Belgrade among his other qualifications.
Paper back published in 2005, it can be had for under $20 and is the single most comprehensive work on Yugos out there.

Look for the 5th edition of MMRotW. Amazon says it'll be released in August. This edition will be a paper back (at least is what Amazon is offering.) I know the Yugoslav section has been a debacle but I know the publisher wanted that section (among others) updated and extensive corrections were submitted with some new pictures. What actually will be in the book I have not yet seen.

You can check out this site- http://milsurpshooter.net/forums/84/...n-Mauser-Forum It is Parallax Bill's Yugoslav Mauser Rifle forum. The moderator there has set up a number of stickies that contain a wealth of knowledge, some of it not published elsewhere. The above mentioned Branko visited that forum and has corresponded with us frequently there. He's provided a lot of info that, as noted, some isn't in print anywhere else.

You can also check some back issues from, 2008 I think it was, of the Military Rifle Journal. There were a string of 4 or 5 articles about Yugoslav rifles. http://militaryriflejournalbookstore...ts/back-issues

I hope this helps.
