>Serbia, why?
Because their doctrine for such a rifle required that it shared ammo with their MG's, and they switched from the M53 in 8mm to the PKM in nugget food.
Hence, nugget food DMR replacement.
Though I covet an M76. I want one in a horrible horrible way.
>>31525321
Well, at least the Kraut round isn't rimmed.

Rimmed is better, easier extraction.

And yet every military worth their salt uses rimless cartridges

It's helpful for an MG.
When it comes to box magazines it's less desirable.

He could be a Terrible Frenchman.
Don't cry anon - these are getting rebarrelled into 762x51mm for export in the states and are sweet sweet AK-based DMR systems for like 400$ from Zvedza.
Buy them, love them.
