1st Yugo modified

[sdh1911]

I have a very close friend who was in Bosnia for 2 complete tours and I asked him many questions about what people were killing each other with over there. I just finished the first of what will be 3 Yugo representative rifles as he' has described to me. Let me explain a little of what he told me. Unit markings and names were frequently carved in even though it wasn't protocol, even art work was seen on many rifles. The strangest thing was non-issue scopes of any kind were put on by local smiths or the solders themselves as a means of increasing there hit potential. Now with that said one of his assignment over there was destroying any and all available small arms not in use, one that he told me about was a Spandau, MG-34 serial#2, completely mint condition. He explained to his CO it was a historical item and the CO told him to go tell Bill Clinton! Needless to say the fact there are so many 24/47, M48 and M48A'S in circulation is astounding. His thoughts are they were the reserve weapons not the battlefield pick-ups, Hum. Could explain the lack of available sniper rig's. I hope you enjoy the picks-SDH
