Last pic I think is the first time I've seen an AK-74 in use in that conflict. I'm sure they were around, but very rare.

Didn't you post up some vids on same topic some time ago?

Either way, I watched the ones you posted up before.

I've always been intrigued by the conflict. Lots to learn from.

Yeah the series is called The Death Of Yugoslavia. It came out about 8 to 12 months after the end of the war. It's a must watch.

The book, " My war gone by, I miss it so " was pretty good, too.

Those were East German AK74 rifles sold to Croatia. Some kits just came into the country but they are expensive due to rarity. The Balkans was basically a arms dump for Croatia & Bosnia, East German, Romanian, Russian, Bulgarian, Hungarian,whatever they could get. If you buy kits from Apex right now chances are they came out of the Balkans (Specifically Croatia)

My guess was EG, as I see the EG clip on night sight on the FSB.

Nice just noticed that myself :) The funny thing is you even had some Russian AK74 rifles that made it into the conflict.....How many I have no idea but I've seen an example of one that came out of Croatia.
