This video from SHOT Show 2024 features Zastava Arms unveiling new AK-platform rifles, specifically the Tabuk model and new underfolder variants. The description highlights these as 'bad-ass' new AKs, indicating a focus on showcasing the latest offerings from the manufacturer.
This video explores the Al Kadesih, a rare Iraqi-made copy of the SVD Dragunov sniper rifle. Unlike a direct clone, the Al Kadesih incorporates AK-style stamped receiver and trunnions while retaining the SVD's fire control system and short-stroke gas piston. Produced in Iraq with Yugoslav assistance, the rifle was manufactured between 1988-1991 and possibly again in 2003. It's noted for its rarity, with a limited production run, and some examples were apparently made for presentation purposes, including gold-plated versions. The video references a Silah Report article for further details.
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.
This video explores the Tabuk series of rifles, essentially Iraqi-produced Yugoslavian M70B1 AK variants. Produced in Iraq with Yugoslavian assistance in the late 1970s, these rifles saw action in the Iran-Iraq conflict. The video highlights different Tabuk iterations, including a standard rifle, underfolder, RPK variant, and a "Krink" model. It specifically focuses on Tabuks built by Two Rivers Arms in Oklahoma City, utilizing Yugo M70B1 parts kits on US receivers (Childers and Nodak Spud). These builds aim to replicate the original Iraqi Tabuk appearance due to legal restrictions on complete original versions in the US. The video also thanks Ventura Munitions and Savage Arms.
