The Zastava Arms USA ZPAP M70 chambered in 7.62x39mm represents a duty-proven AK platform designed for consistent operational reliability and enduring service life. Engineered in Serbia, this rifle integrates traditional AK robust mechanics with enhanced material specifications to withstand demanding use across varied operational environments.
Key Features
Robust Construction
The ZPAP M70 features a 1.5mm stamped receiver, significantly thicker than standard AKM specifications, reinforced with a bulged trunnion. This construction provides a rigid platform, mitigating flex and enhancing overall structural integrity. The 16.3-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is chrome-lined for superior corrosion resistance and extended bore life, ensuring consistent ballistic performance over prolonged engagements. All critical components, including the barrel trunnion, are forged, contributing to the rifle’s durability and operational resilience under sustained fire.
Optimized Reliability
The rifle’s long-stroke gas piston operating system is inherently reliable, cycling efficiently across varied ammunition types and environmental conditions. The chrome-lined bore and gas system components facilitate easier cleaning and reduce fouling accumulation. A reinforced dust cover further protects the action from ingress, ensuring uninterrupted function. The safety selector incorporates a bolt hold-open notch, streamlining reloads and facilitating immediate chamber inspection.
Ergonomic Integration
This model is equipped with durable black polymer furniture, designed to provide a secure and consistent interface for positive weapon manipulation. Standard AK pattern adjustable iron sights are integrated for rapid target acquisition and precise elevation/windage adjustments.
