The Zastava ZPAP M70 7.62×39 rifle represents a robust iteration of the AK platform, manufactured to demanding specifications in Serbia. This rifle is engineered for consistent operational reliability and extended service life across diverse environmental conditions. Its foundational structural integrity is derived from a 1.5mm stamped receiver paired with a bulged trunnion, design elements critical for mitigating stress and enhancing durability under sustained use. The chrome-lined barrel further contributes to longevity by resisting wear and corrosion, optimizing barrel life over thousands of rounds.
Key Features
Robust Construction
The ZPAP M70 features a 1.5mm stamped steel receiver, significantly thicker than standard AKM patterns, paired with a bulged front trunnion. This construction reinforces critical stress points, ensuring enhanced structural rigidity and prolonged service life. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel provides superior resistance to wear and simplifies bore cleaning, critical for maintaining ballistic consistency.
Enhanced Ergonomics and Utility
This variant integrates Magpul enhanced furniture to optimize user interface and adaptability. The Magpul MOE handguard provides a secure grip and incorporates M-LOK attachment slots, facilitating the seamless integration of tactical firearm accessories such as weapon lights, laser modules, or vertical grips. The Magpul Zhukov-S folding stock is adjustable for length of pull, enhancing comfort and accommodating various shooter statures or ballistic vest configurations. Its folding mechanism significantly reduces the rifle’s overall length for compact storage or transport, without compromising operational readiness.
Caliber Performance and Reliability
Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the ZPAP M70 delivers effective terminal ballistics suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, from competitive shooting to practical field deployment. The AK system’s inherent design prioritizes operational reliability, a characteristic consistently demonstrated by this platform. This personal defense firearm is suitable for general purpose utility, serving as a viable option for consistent training regimens at the shooting range, contingent upon established maintenance protocols utilizing standard gun cleaning supplies.
