Yugoslav M70A: The AK With a Real Magazine Holdopen
This video provides an in-depth look at the Yugoslav M70A rifle, a distinct variant of the Kalashnikov pattern. It highlights the rifle's unique bolt hold-open feature, which requires a specially notched magazine. The video contrasts this early design with later Yugoslavian AK variants and Soviet models, explaining the reason for the eventual removal of the hold-open mechanism. The presenter notes the rarity of these rifles, especially in the US, and thanks the owner for sharing this example, including a Slovenian deployment case.
