This video features Miles Vining from Silah Report joining Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons to examine a variety of Iraqi Tabuk AK pattern rifles. The Tabuk, based on the Yugoslav M70, has a mysterious production history with multiple variations, including different trunnions, stocks, and features like rifle grenade cutoffs. A unique 'sniper' model with a long barrel and specialized stock, designed for PSO or Zrak scopes, is also highlighted. The Tabuk was not a primary issue rifle but was seen in elite units. Production details and serial number significance remain largely unknown due to lost records. The video thanks Two Rivers Arms for providing the rifles for filming.
