Yugoslavian M76 Sniper Rifle — 24K Gold-Plated & Hand-Engraved | 1 of 1

Description

There is only one of these in existence today.

While another could theoretically be commissioned, the combination of an all-numbers-matching Zastava M76 surplus parts kit, a U.S. FFL-07 manufacturer willing to take on a one-off build at this level, and the hand engraving and 24K gold work performed by Tony’s Gold Plating makes this particular rifle an unrepeatable confluence of provenance, craftsmanship, and artistry. No two would ever be alike — and this one is here, now, ready to be owned.

▸ The Build

Embach Armory assembled this rifle on a precision U.S.-made Tortort receiver with a chrome-lined Green Mountain barrel — the same components trusted by the most demanding Combloc builders in the country. Every part from the original Zastava kit is present, intact, and serial-matching. The bore is mirror-bright, the rifling sharp, and the action smooth. This rifle was test-fired once for function verification and has been carefully displayed in a climate-controlled environment ever since.

▸ The Finish

Tony’s Gold Plating — one of the most respected finishing shops in Texas — performed the full 24K gold plating and deep-relief hand scroll engraving that covers this rifle from end to end. The original Zastava wood furniture was preserved, serial-matched, and professionally refinished to complement the gold metalwork. Several original magazines were also gold and chrome plated and are included with the rifle as shown in the photos. Under any light, this rifle commands attention.

▸ The M76

Originally designed and produced by Zastava Arms, the M76 served as Yugoslavia’s precision marksman rifle throughout the Cold War — a Kalashnikov-based design chambered in hard-hitting 8mm Mauser, built for reliability and accuracy in the field. This example carries that history forward in a way no other rifle can.At home on a display wall or in a private collection. There isn’t another one of these on the market, and there’s no guarantee another will ever be built.

Warranty: Embach Armory stands behind the build.
