The '''Zastava M70''' (Serbian: Застава М70) was Yugoslavia's domestically designed variant of the Soviet [[AK-47]], and was the primary standard service rifle of the Yugoslav People's Army and later the Serbian Army (until its replacement by the Zastava M21). Developed and manufactured by [[Zastava Arms]], the M70 was developed by reverse engineering AKs that Yugoslavia received from unofficial sources, and was manufactured without license, as Yugoslavia was a neutral nation during the Cold War. Yugoslavia began developing its AK in 1959, and first began unlicensed production in 1964 with the '''Zastava M64''', which was modified to produce the more widely adopted M70.

The '''Tabuk sniper rifle''' is an Iraqi-designed semi-automatic sniper rifle. Largely based on the [[Zastava M72]] light machine gun, the Tabuk is built on a [[RPK]]-style receiver that utilizes the long-stroke piston action of the AK-47 and has many parts in common with the [[Zastava M70]] family of rifles. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the Tabuk can also utilize magazines from other Kalashnikov variants. The Tabuk has been produced by the Al-Qadissiya Establishments from the 1980s to present, even after the American invasion and is widely using as a designated marksman's rifle by Iraqi soldiers, insurgents and militiamen throughout the various wars in Iraq.

The Zastava M70 (Serbian: Застава М70) was Yugoslavia's domestically designed variant of the Soviet AK-47, and was the primary standard service rifle of the Yugoslav People's Army and later the Serbian Army (until its replacement by the Zastava M21). Developed and manufactured by Zastava Arms, the M70 was developed by reverse engineering AKs that Yugoslavia received from unofficial sources, and was manufactured without license, as Yugoslavia was a neutral nation during the Cold War. Yugoslavia began developing its AK in 1959, and first began unlicensed production in 1964 with the Zastava M64, which was modified to produce the more widely adopted M70.

The Zastava AKs featured many differences compared to Soviet AKs designs, many of which are clearly visible and immediately recognizable. Their most distinctive features are their longer forearms with 3 cooling vents.

Zastava M70AB2 - 7.62x39mm (non-standard pistol grip). The military version of the M70AB2 underfolder rifle has a black plastic pistol grip as seen in the image above. However all of the Zastava M70AB2 rifles imported in the U.S. by Mitchell Arms had the wooden pistol grip seen in this photo. So a wooden pistol grip is indicative of a 'Mitchell Arms' rifle.

The Zastava M70 is the standard variant of the Zastava AKs that saw the most use in the Yugoslavian military. It was most widely used and seen in the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Yugoslavia also sold them to many countries such as Iraq (which produced a licensed copy known as the Tabuk, which lacked the grenade-launching sight) and Kuwait.

The M70 utilized a strengthened lower receiver, more akin to the RPK than the AK-47/AKM. It also has grenade launcher sights that when raised cut off gas flow to the piston allowing use of blanks for grenade launching; the rear trunion has a plunger to lock the receiver cover to prevent loss when used with a grenade launcher. Flip-up sights are standard equipment for optional night use: two dot rear and one dot front filled with phosphorescent material. M70 magazines are standard AK-47 type, but have a follower that blocks the bolt open when empty (much like the 30 round M1 Carbine magazine follower). Some of the variants also have finned barrels to aid in heat dispersion.

The Zastava M70 was produced in the following variants:

  • M70 - milled receiver, fixed stock
  • M70A – milled receiver, underfolding stock
  • M70A1 – milled receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights
  • M70B1 – stamped receiver, fixed stock
  • M70AB2 – stamped receiver, underfolding stock
  • M70AB3 – stamped receiver, underfolding stock, rifle grenade sight removed and replaced with a GP-25 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher
  • M70B1N – stamped receiver, fixed stock, mount for night or optical sights
  • M70AB2N – stamped receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights
  • Variants M70B, M70AB and M70AB1 also exist, but they are rare and their specifications are unclear.

The Tabuk sniper rifle is an Iraqi-designed semi-automatic sniper rifle. Largely based on the Zastava M72 light machine gun, the Tabuk is built on a RPK-style receiver that utilizes the long-stroke piston action of the AK-47 and has many parts in common with the Zastava M70 family of rifles. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the Tabuk can also utilize magazines from other Kalashnikov variants. The Tabuk has been produced by the Al-Qadissiya Establishments from the 1980s to present, even after the American invasion and is widely using as a designated marksman's rifle by Iraqi soldiers, insurgents and militiamen throughout the various wars in Iraq.
