Military issue predecessor to the AK-47 rifle All "Yugos" as
they are commonly referred to are made at "Zastava" ordnance,
formerly known as "Crvena Zastava" or "Preduzece
44",
the Serbian arsenal in the town of Kragujevac (about
2 1/2 hours away from the capital Belgrade). There are no other arsenals
in Yugoslavia, though there may be other satelite locations, so if
you see a Yugo anything, it is a Zastava firearm made in Serbia.
To the
best
of
my knowledge,
all
modern Serbian
military
guns are standard with chromed bores and tritium night sights, except
the SKS, which has just the night sights. However these guns
are pretty old, and the chroming practice may not have been adopted
until
the later years (Zastava AK's as well as the Zastava 99 pistol are
all chromed). However the superior materials, milling and machining still
make this the most desirable of all the SKS'.
