Iraqi Tabuk Rifles

The Tabuk family.Iraq’s own Kalashnikov line.

1The Iraqi Kalashnikov

Iraq built Kalashnikovs at the Al Qadisiyah works in the 1970s and 1980s with Yugoslav help, so the Tabuk rifles follow the Zastava M70 pattern. The Tabuk came as a fixed stock rifle, a folding stock rifle, a short carbine, and the Tabuk sniper rifle, a long barrel 7.62×39 marksman rifle based on the Yugoslav M76 layout.

Other Iraqi rifles include the Al Quds and Al Kadesiah. Bulgarian AK-74s built for an Iraqi contract also turned up in the archive.
