Tabuk Sniper Rifle

Iraqi Tabuk sniper rifle with cleaning rod removed and Zrak scope - 7.62x39mm

The Tabuk sniper rifle is an Iraqi-designed semi-automatic sniper rifle. Largely based on the Zastava M72 light machine gun, the Tabuk is built on a RPK-style receiver that utilizes the long-stroke piston action of the AK-47 and has many parts in common with the Zastava M70 family of rifles. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the Tabuk can also utilize magazines from other Kalashnikov variants. The Tabuk was produced by the Al-Qadissiya Establishments from the 1980s until the American invasion and has been widely used as a designated marksman's rifle by Iraqi soldiers, insurgents and militiamen throughout the various wars in Iraq.
