Here are my Bulgarians. Got some Bulgarian steel ribbed mags around somewhere, but hell if I can figure out where I put them. 40 round pouch is Romanian, as I've never seen or heard of a 40 round Bulgarian made pouch. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. I'm very particular and like things correct.
The top rifle was a kit I bought from Whatacountry with the intent to build a Russian Type 3 clone. When I saw the stock I knew I had to build a Bulgarian. Whoever carried this in the 1990's Yugo war certainly had an affection for Austria.
The stock is carved with the Serbian four C's cross, a Croatian shield, a possible name of "Ape," and HVO scratched in it in bubble letters. HVO (Hrvatsko vijeΔe obrane is apparently the Croatian Defence Council). Not sure what the connection between Serbia and Croatia is. Perhaps the original rifle changed hands?
Bottom rifle is an Arsenal Sam-7 series.
Pardon the upside down Bulgarian flag. No disrespect intended. Would have helped if I would have double checked.
