Zastava ZPAPM70 7.62x39mm AK Rifle
The Zastava ZPAPM70 is engineered for uncompromising performance within the 7.62x39mm AK platform. This rifle integrates foundational design principles with enhanced material specifications, ensuring operational reliability and extended service life under demanding conditions. Every critical component is specified for durability and consistent function, reflecting a commitment to the robust AK lineage.
Key Features
Robust Construction and Material Specification
The ZPAPM70 is built around a 1.5mm bulged trunnion receiver, a design choice that significantly enhances structural integrity and mitigates stress during high-volume firing. This robust foundation is complemented by a hammer-forged, chrome-lined steel barrel measuring 16.30 inches. The chrome lining provides superior corrosion resistance and facilitates ease of cleaning, while the hammer-forging process contributes to exceptional barrel longevity and consistent ballistic performance. Critical components, including the fire control group and bolt carrier group, are heat-treated and matched to optimize their interaction, minimizing wear and ensuring reliable cycling throughout the rifle’s lifespan.
Operational Reliability and Ergonomics
Functioning as a gas-operated system, the ZPAPM70 maintains the proven reliability characteristic of the AK platform. A distinctive feature is the bolt hold-open notch integrated into the safety selector, which aids in maintenance, inspection, and administrative handling. The rifle is designed to accept standard double-stack AK magazines, ensuring compatibility and reliable feeding for its 30-round capacity. Furniture on this model includes a durable black polymer handguard, providing a secure grip and heat mitigation, paired with a fixed dark walnut synthetic stock. This stock offers a traditional aesthetic while maintaining the resilience and weather resistance of synthetic materials. The silver receiver finish provides a distinctive appearance without compromising material integrity.
