Yugo M-56 .22LR Bolt Action Training Rifle - Fair to Good Conditions - C & R Eligible

In the former Yugoslavia, the M-56 rifle was designed and utilized as a training aid for students in elementary and high schools as well as local shooting clubs. Development of the M-56 rifle started in 1954 and would make its introduction to the market two years later, hence the M-56 model designation. Between 1956 and 1960, 12,099 rifles were manufactured at Zastava, located in the town of Kragujebac, Serbia. Since the rifle features the same bolt sleeve and safety system as the Mauser, it was used to familiarize the students for future use with the military service rifle of the time, the M48. These rifles are extremely rare in the United States as most have been in storage since the separation of Yugoslavia in 1991.
