A semi-automatic version of the Zastava M72. The M72 was a gas-operated, air-cooled, drum-fed, selective fire, shoulder-fired weapon with a bipod. It was originally used as a squad automatic weapon, like the Soviet RPK but has unique design features such as the heavy finned barrel allowing for maximum cooling under heavy fire, The B1 designation denotes the modernized version of the rifle with the heavy 1.5 mil stamped receiver with reinforcement ridges. Not only a great collectors item but a fantastic long range shooter.
James River Armory has produced these semi-auto versions of the M72B1 rifles and they are top-notch builds. Using a new US barrel and US 1.5mm reinforced receiver, they are built to provide years of service and are rock solid. The M72 was originally a gas-operated, air-cooled, drum and magazine-fed light machine gun, manufactured by Zastava Arms of Yugoslavia (Serbia). It fires the 7.62×39mm M43 round.. What a beautiful and historic rifle. These rifles are built utilizing all original A-1 grade Yugoslavian ( Zastava Serbia ) parts sets and New U.S. barrels and receivers. They are carefully refurbished by the expert craftsmen at James River Armory to look as close as possible to the original issue rifles. Each rifle possesses a brand new U.S. made heavy barrel with cooling fins built in exactly duplicating the original barrel but with the accuracy of a new bore. Comes complete with Bi-Pod and 1-30 round mag and all standard AK-mags and drums should fit. These have brand new U.S. barrels along with new receivers and are built to the highest historical quality specifications by our friends at James River Armory. Limited qty's available.
