About This Firearm

The Zastava ZPAP M70 is a walnut-stocked semi-automatic AK in 7.62x39mm built for range shooting and home defense. Zastava still builds it. Its receiver is a 1.5mm stamping with a bulged front trunnion, heavier metal in the two places a stamped AK wears fastest.

It arrives complete as an iron-sighted rifle, with an adjustable front post, an adjustable rear notch, a bolt hold-open notch on the safety selector and one magazine. Nothing on it adjusts for fit, and the dark walnut furniture is solid wood. There is no rail or mount anywhere on the receiver, so a scope or a red dot means buying a mount before anything can go on the rifle.

If you're cross-shopping, the Century Arms VSKA has an MSRP of $949.99 at 7.50 lbs on a conventional stamped receiver, with the RAK-1 trigger group fitted. The Riley Defense RAK-47 has an MSRP of $929 at 7.00 lbs, with a machined side scope mount and an M14x1 left-hand muzzle thread.

Best For

GOOD
Range/Target
Cold hammer forging and a chrome-lined bore let the barrel take cheap, corrosively primed ammunition without pitting.
GOOD
Home Defense
There is no optic, no battery and no accessory in the system to fail, and Zastava lists a gas-operated action working a double-stack bolt.
FAIR
Collecting
Zastava states that the ZPAPM70 series was built on the operating principle of the M70 automatic rifle, and that it has made millions of them as the service weapon of many armies. Walnut furniture is part of that appeal.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • Walnut and blued steel take a dent and a scratch, and both can be sanded back and re-oiled at home, which a molded polymer stock cannot.
  • The bulged front trunnion and the 1.5mm stamping are a heavier build than the conventional stamped receiver on the Century Arms VSKA, and the whole rifle is built in one factory instead of assembled from a kit.
  • The safety selector carries a bolt hold-open notch, so the action can be held open for inspection without a separate catch.
Limitations
  • The scope mount and quad rail are Zastava's own accessories, bought separately, so optics are a second purchase.
  • Try both light and heavy bullet weights to see which this barrel shoots best.
