Problem with Zastava is that first they were under sanctions in 90's. Than they were bombed in 1999, and after that in 2002 Yugoimport was selling weapons to Liberia which was under sanctions (at the same time we were also selling weapons to Iraq ), and because of that Serbian defence industry together with Zastava ended up under embargo until 2007. So Zastava ended up in lot of problems. You have to understand that Zastava based their business on being the major supplier of arms to large Yugoslav army, and selling a lot on international market. After the 90's they lost their largest buyer (Yugoslav army), and they were almost constantly under sanctions and embargo not to mention being bombed for around 15 years.

So Zastava didn't really had a time or money to modernize production lines, they are making some progress in that direction in the recent years, but it's going slowly. And when we are talking about their sporting rifles program, finish on those rifle is nothing to write home about, but on the other hand they are well made, reliable, with good ergonomics, and they are cheap.

So yes i agree that Zastava should pay more attention, and polish those rifles a bit, before sending them to a buyer. but they don't really give a crap. They are basically military grade weapons manufacturer, so they treat their civilian program in a similar way. It's solid, it works, pack it and send it away. So most people in US or Canada buy Zastava sporting rifles, because they are cheap and well made, and after that they refinish the rifle themselves.

Hi,

Is it the M70 or M808---and how much is it going for!

The wood stock is not polished---it is oiled----if you can take it off---sand it and do your own varnish---it will come out really nice.
