The Zastava ZPAPM70 delivers authentic Serbian AK-47 performance with modern upgrades that enhance accuracy and handling over standard AK platforms. This 7.62x39mm rifle combines traditional Kalashnikov reliability with premium components including a chrome-lined barrel and enhanced furniture package.
What Makes This Different
Unlike budget AK variants, the ZPAPM70 features a cold hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel that extends service life beyond 20,000 rounds while maintaining consistent accuracy. The rifle incorporates a 1.5mm receiver made from quality Serbian steel, providing superior durability compared to stamped alternatives. Factory upgrades include the ProMag adjustable stock system and TangoDown polymer grip for improved ergonomics.
Key Features
- Chrome-lined 16.3" barrel with 1:10 twist rate for enhanced accuracy and longevity
- ProMag adjustable stock with multiple length-of-pull positions
- TangoDown polymer pistol grip with enhanced texture and ergonomics
- Hogue handguard system with improved heat dissipation
- Standard AK-pattern magazine compatibility accepting 30-round capacity

Field performance demonstrates the rifle's capability across multiple applications from recreational shooting to hunting medium game. The chrome-lined bore maintains accuracy standards even under rapid-fire conditions, while the gas system cycles reliably with various ammunition weights from 123-grain to 154-grain projectiles. Weather resistance matches military specifications, functioning in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F without lubrication changes.
