This video explores a unique bullpup conversion of a Yugoslav M70 AK by IM Metal, a precursor to HS Produkt.

The Iraqi Tabuk rifle is a variant of the Yugoslavian Zastava M70 pattern, manufactured in Iraq starting in 1980. While sharing the M70's distinctive features like unique rear trunnions and a grenade cutoff sight, Iraqi versions often have Arabic markings and distinct grip serrations. The Tabuk was not the universal Iraqi army standard but often a status symbol for elite units. A sniper variant also exists, chambered in 7.62x39mm with an extended barrel and scope mount.
