Yugoslav M52 Sniper: East Meets West
This video explores the Yugoslav M52 Sniper rifle, a fascinating East-West hybrid. Developed in 1952, it utilized highly accurate M48A Mauser actions fitted with rails and scope mounts from Soviet M91/30 PU sniper rifles. A domestic Yugoslav copy of the PU scope was also employed to account for ballistic differences between 7.62x54R and 8x57 cartridges. The video highlights the scarcity of documentation surrounding these rifles and discusses the uncertainty regarding their full production and service status. Some examples feature welded scope mounts, while others have threaded muzzles for suppressors, adding to their unique and somewhat mysterious nature.
