A spiritual cousin to the Soviet SVD Dragunov rifle, the M76 is a Kalashnikov descendant rifle intended for use in the squad sniper/designated marksman role. Hooded post front and tangent rear sights, with the machined receiver marked "1996/M76" and "52487" on the left, "BIGSS IND LLC/8mm/M-76/52487/BLOSSBURG PA" on the underside ahead of the trigger; information is limited, but Bigss(sic) is believed to be the importer. The barrel is fitted with a birdcage flash hider, bayonet lug and adjustable gas system. Matching numbers present on the receiver, receiver cover, bolt carrier, bolt, and gas cylinder, with an electro-penciled "2468" on the cover and carrier. Smooth forearm, pistol grip and buttstock with a rubber recoil pad. The M76B scope is numbered "8901094", with "45404" on the base, M76 marked elevation knob, sliding sunshield, and a rubber eyepiece.

Very fine, with 90% of the arsenal refurbished blue finish, showing some minor light pitting under finish on receiver and handling marks on the balance. Some mild scuffs and dings are present on the wood. Optics are crisp, though the illuminator element has faded out. Mechanically excellent.
