Nice review . I have a m92 built by Krebs 10 yrs ago . Just put a brace on it . Heres just a thought though , I never want to see anyone get hurt . Never fire a gun as is when u first get it .Always clean it first . Saw a guy fire a brand new sks that still had that cosmoline grease on it . Blew up in his face . He lost vision in one of his eyes and burned his one hand pretty bad. His eye injury was gruesome! After the ambulance took him we were noticing what looked like down feathers all around his bench . An older gentleman asked if he cleaned the gun . Someone said no it was brand new . The guy said bugs will nest in anything that sits long enough and fill the barrel with anything and everything including grass, dirt , feathers etc. That in combination with thick grease in the barrel turned it all hard and blocked the barrel enough to cause it to fail. I Always at least run something through my barrels before shooting anything after witnessing that .
leterbuck2001 Lol !Just noticed this video again and saw ur comment . Bro exactly what part of my comment u think was bullshit ? U want to be an idiot and think I made it up that’s cool . It was more for people that don’t troll and shoot guns regularly. Why would anyone make up a bullshit story that would do nothing but potentially make someone safer ? I know there’s assholes out there that give bad advice hoping someone does something dumb. But safer ? Just don’t get what u think is gained by me making it up ? Doesn’t effect me one way or the other .
@@alexwhiteman2628 the M92s imported by Century were indeed made in the Zastava factory. Not only that, but because they were imported as pistols, Century did not change any of the internals like they do with rifles to meet 922.r compliance.
@thebigyeet in this case you're the one who is wrong. I've been to Zastava, I've been to Century. Guns marked "made in Serbia" were....you ready for this? MADE IN SERBIA.
@@GBGuns don't hurt his feelings now, he is obviously very emotional about this topic by telling me to "shut the fuck up." The fact still remains that any firearms imported as pistols are not subject to 922R as imported rifles are, and therefore, have the factory internals as assembled in Serbia.
Love the Tokarevs, but those EZ 9s border on ridiculous...So wide and stubby with a high bore. I think they handle like a Makita Cordless Drill really....
I know this is an old video but I have searched and these are built by Zastava arms in Serbia and Zastava USA is a company owned by Zastava Serbia just us the USA brand to import them
I thought the alpha version came with a pic rail and rear trunnion pic rail and adjustable flip sights , I thought the one you have here is just the basic zpap92/m92?
It's a fun and practical platform (see my article in Tactical Life Magazine about AK pistols), had you waited another month you could have saved some dough, I think they're finally realizing American won't stand for over-priced.
Iove good rakija. This was not my first trip, probably not my last. If Zastava hadn't gone and broken some rules (allegedly) it would have been a better trip for the channel.
The bummer is it means you may not k ow what you're getting when you order one. Kinda like buying a car by make and model, but dealer's choice on the year!
Ga Driller As they should be. Magazine adapters are notorious for causing reliability issues. I dropped any interest when I was researching them when I found out they had a lot of problems.
They are built to contract. Not all Zastava guns are created equal. I saw this when I visited the factory and noticed quality and detail differences between their military contract and the stuff being imported at that time. Even the new stuff is different than what Century imported.
Current Z92's have 1.5mm receivers instead of 1mm along with the thicker barrel that's chrome lined and the rear trunnion is drilled for a stock/brace adapter.
Yup. They pretty much ended up going back to the old M specs after milking the market for what they could with the lesser models. Is a 1.5mm receiver necessary on a pistol? Probably not, but some folks feel better about it.
@@GBGuns I like the thicker receiver, but it's not a deal breaker or deal maker imo. The pre drilled rear trunnion and chrome lined barrel are pretty nice upgrades. Just wish they'd put retainer plates in like they just started to do with the newest batch of M70's.

@Graham Baates; thanks for sharing, AK pistols never did much for me but these look solid. I wish you safe travels to Zastava; super jealous but look forward to your vids!! If you can get any cool Zastava swag snag me some ;)
Ah yes, that makes complete sense. I would go on a vacation, then come back and spend more money to buy a gun I knew I would have a problem with and spend more time and money to make a video for UA-cam. Thank god we have the forums for such insight.
Nice Ak except for a few things. The good. Nice chrome bolt and inards. Nice wood furniture. Like the bolt hold open and mag. Dont like the angled rear trunion and its not pre drilled for brace or stock. Dont like the top cover is non removable and no picatinny anywhere. I looked at these and they’re great guns but i went with the century arms RAS47 micro draco. Has more features i like. Has picatinny top rail with flouro Fiber optic Sights, easy removable flash hider, not tac welded on, has enclosed front hood sight not half. Has bolt hold open safety with lock notch and most importantly had flat rear trunion pre drilled for sling or brace or stock. Both great AK pistols, just like the dracos better

Sure glad I grabbed all of my Zastava rifles and pistols a few years ago. Them $399 M92's and $499 NPAPs are long gone.
Yep overnight too. After that school shooting they jumped up and only came down a few bucks ever since.
@@emkivi82 they were still barely into the $500 range before Century stopped importing them. Zastava USA hiked the prices.

It should be a crime to have a krink without a side folding triangle stock

Agree
I like em with fixed wood stocks
I hate side folders
The best AK's are old wooden furniture with shiny bolts/carriers!
Not really, but okay fudd
@@BoogalooBoy Okay tactitard.
@@Pajdas610 Okay? its called practicality.
@@BoogalooBoy Just playing around mate.
Love the new options they have. Can’t wait for an Underfolder to come out.
I’ve always been a zastava fan. Especially those EZ 9’s
Cosmoline Fiend Ditto on the Zastava Fan. Waiting on my M-91 to get here.
EZ 9 Compact!:-)
Love the Tokarevs, but those EZ 9s border on ridiculous...So wide and stubby with a high bore. I think they handle like a Makita Cordless Drill really....
One at my shop for $899 right no. I have no idea where to look for the 1913 brace adapter though. Would love the triangle folding brace
You can get one straight from zastava 159.99 bro
I know this is an old video but I have searched and these are built by Zastava arms in Serbia and Zastava USA is a company owned by Zastava Serbia just us the USA brand to import them
Correct, but at the time they wanted it to seem like it was one company.
I thought the alpha version came with a pic rail and rear trunnion pic rail and adjustable flip sights , I thought the one you have here is just the basic zpap92/m92?
I thought so too, what they were advertising at the time and what they were selling st rhetime were two different guns.
I just ordered the same one from Atlanticfirearms. Few more days she’ll be mine.
I just bout one it was about $900 not bad at all I love it already even tho I can’t find bullets lol
7 months later how's the bullet finding going now?😆😅🤣😂
This is the only ammo type that my academy has in stock at all times
@@SarahSmith-hd8kd lol it’s cool finding ammo it was hard

@@GBGuns are you in Belgrade now?
@@MisterXdotcom yes. We were here for the week. Headed back to the US today.

They have models with the braces shipping
Lol... the first thing any serious user of these asks... either that or, "There's a brace and mount that fits it, right??!" Phew..... 🤣
My Zpap92 alpha didn’t have a wood grip to match why?
They've made numerous changes to these
First! Good looking AK!
I call BS! This is from 13 hours ago.... Lol LOVE your videos too my brother!
Nice I have the m92 and m85np love them both
Snap-Crackle-ZPAP!
Have you discovered already it is not walnut furniture but very poor stain dripping from any water on it?
Yup, we said that in a follow up video.
Love that dark wood on that firearm! Much better than that blond balsa wood Century puts on the Wasrs.
Is bolt carrier regular AK-Size? I know gas piston is shorter i was just wondering if the bolt carrier from other Ak-47's can be used as replacement?
what's the difference between this zpap, m92 pap, wbp lynx and mini jack? so many names... basically same gun...
Quality, fit, finish, weight, and proprietary or common parts fitment
Do you know if all of the new ones have that little hole and plug in the back end of the rear trunnion to accept braces?
@@BigFunkyy Thanks
Thanks for the vid...if I wanted to get all that crap off the end of the barrel how would I go about that?
That depends on the QC. On one of our guns it came right off, on the other a weld needs to be cut.
@@GBGuns thanks…I’ll def have to cut it. No biggie
Yeah their quality control I pretty lousy. You'll want to replace the pin retainer and finish the stain job too
Hello
Why am I seeing zpaps 92,s in with bulged trunnions and then I see some without bulged trunnions ?
Because they've changed what the actual specs are without changing the product name.
@@GBGuns cool!thanx !
The bummer is it means you may not k ow what you're getting when you order one. Kinda like buying a car by make and model, but dealer's choice on the year!
@@GBGuns awesome
Thanx
Man I want that wood grip! Mine didn’t come with it. I got the black plastic one.
Contact Zastava USA. You should get what you paid for.
Watch out for those axis pins walking out. Get a retainer plate or buy the proper sized pins.
What about the new updated Zpap Pistols? Any insight anyone?
Can you find out Z is going to bring back the m90np
They confirmed they are, on their social media.
Yeah I was bummed about that. I have an older one with the magwell and love it.
Ga Driller As they should be. Magazine adapters are notorious for causing reliability issues. I dropped any interest when I was researching them when I found out they had a lot of problems.
Mule TeamSixtySix Hopefully never. They only need to be imported with original magazines.
Thats what want to add to my AK collection..so can you put any 14-1LH muzzle device on it or is that a whole different setup?
Different threads. 24mm.
current ZPAP are 26mm not 24mm... I believe Bulgarian is 24mm and YUGO(zpap) is 26mm
What's the difference between this gun vs a micro draco?
Longer barrel, heavier receiver, lower craftsmanship on the Z
@@GBGuns you know where i can find a micro draco? Cant find one anywhere...
No, but I would opt for the Mini. Read my Article in Combat Handguns. I compare all three Dracos
Can you drop a link to that kit to add a pic rail on the top cover
There are aftermarket kits.
Where can i get em, can u give me a link
Search for M92 rail adapter or call Zastava USA
I'm considering this ZPAP 92 versus the new WBP Mini Jack? Any advice?
WBP all day and twice on Sunday. Far better machining, fit, and finish at a lower price.
@@GBGuns thanks for responding back. Yeah after seeing your video I was leaning more towards the mini jack.
Zastava is better quality and more reliable. Mini Jack is just better finish and fancier...
WBP has a far superior fit and finish, weighs less, superior build quality and costs less than the new Zasrava prices.
@@GBGuns WBP is on average $300-$400 more than Zastava. No thanks, overrated. But muh PoLaNd
whats the difference between the m92 and z92?
They are built to contract. Not all Zastava guns are created equal. I saw this when I visited the factory and noticed quality and detail differences between their military contract and the stuff being imported at that time. Even the new stuff is different than what Century imported.
So what makes an M92 an Alpha? My M92 was bought in 2016, looks like this in every way. Explain?
Current Z92's have 1.5mm receivers instead of 1mm along with the thicker barrel that's chrome lined and the rear trunnion is drilled for a stock/brace adapter.
Yup. They pretty much ended up going back to the old M specs after milking the market for what they could with the lesser models. Is a 1.5mm receiver necessary on a pistol? Probably not, but some folks feel better about it.
