Zastava M70 ZPAP Rifle Unboxing AK 47 variant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- This is an unboxing of the recently updated ZPAP M70 rifle. This rifle has light maple furniture and looks like an AK should.
This is model ZR7762LM, UPC 685757098236.
The PAP in ZPAP is an acronym "Polu-automatska puska/pistolj" meaning Semi-Automatic Rifle/pistol in the native language.
The fit & finish on this rifle is solid.
You pronounced Zastava and Kragujevac like a true Serb.
May your M70 serve you well and long.
Yes. Bravo. That’s beyond me. But for your reference, Zastava US is located in Des Plains, pronounced “Dez Planes” not the French version. Chicagoland is what it is. I just bought mine in Serbian Red last week. Awesome.
@@tallen6641 same here, red ❤️
He serv me and he will again if needed.
Zastava the name alone speaks for itself!
Quality all the way
5:18 Quick note regarding the Magpul magazine... All Zastava's magazines (be it polymer or metal) followers are shaped, in such a way to enable a bolt hold open feature after last round is fired. This third party mag doesn't have that. Just so you know. Kind regards from Serbia, the land of Zastava firearms. 🙂
I was able to purchase an M72 RPK with the barrel that has the fins cut into it. It's a beautiful weapon that is of outstanding quality. Your countrymen make some damn fine weapons.
@@tj36b6 Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, we always strive towards improvement. Zastava M72 does have fins/ribs and the barrel itself is heavier in order for the shooter to actually be able to provide suppressive fire, before the gun barrel overheats. When first I saw the initial prototype of Zastava's Assault Rifle, the Zastava M64, I was blown away, as it looked more modern than an Israeli Galil, only this was in 1964 waaay before Galil LoL. But it was deemed too expensive and so we have the M70 and its derivatives. For what it's worth the latest iteration of Zastava's next gen Assault Rifle for the Serbian Army, is called Zastava M19 ( /watch?v=KCKtHXLwKgE ) and it's the most radical modernization departure from the original and since it's modular, it supports both 7,62x39 and 6,5x39 ammo with a barrel swap. So yeah, our engineers are always on the move, dynamic, trying to push the threshold on the original. Kind regards from Serbia.
@@StefanBlagojevic I'll definitely check out that new rifle. Also, I'm praying for peace for all of our brothers and sisters in Central and Eastern Europe, may God's hand of protection be on your families.
@@tj36b6 Thank you kind Sir. All the best to you and your loved ones.
God bless your land and people!!!
Just got mine a week ago. I went with the brown walnut furniture. Awesome rifle! My first AK, and I personally think for sheer range fun it almost beats my AR.
that is a great looking rifle you got there. My buddies aways reach for the AK on the table on range day- it is a lively weapon and definitely more fun to fire
I know your review is 2yrs old but I just ran across it,,,I thought it was perfect and interesting because 2 weeks before my seeing your vid. I purchased one to keep my NPAP company. I regard them as my down and dirty steel target hitters, have fun cleaning them also, very comforting it's great to have a hobby. Well done video Thank you sir
Thanks for the feedback-I appreciate you, Brother.. That M70 is up to 3k rounds. I love it. I recently upgraded with some modern accessories. Enjoy your rifle;:-Thanks-Doug
@404tactical7 I'm just getting ready to put my attack chihuahuas to bed and I received a response,,, i really didn't expect that, but it made my whole day. We just layed to rest my Mother and Dad at Miramar National Cemetery in San Diego CA. I gave the final speech about his and her life. Not leaving my Mom out, but my dad taught me how to handle and respect firearms, they are always loaded he said. I hold that true to this day,,,didn't mean to gibberish on, but your channel and laying to rest brought back memories and I'm at ease that Mom and Dad are together. Sorry for the extensive garbage. I appreciate your channel, looking forward for more 👍 thank you sir

Dude mine got an awesome pamphlet about the great contributions the Yugoslavians made during ww2 and history of the zastava factory. Love Zastava now, love to Serbia from West Virginia
Just purchased one from Atlantic firearms. 999.99 shipped.
Also bought a few little goodies aswell to enhance it when it comes in. From what I hear, these AK's are the best AK's for the money and probably going to be one of the last great imported AK's we will get. Cannot wait to get it in my hands
Cool slick Daddy. Atlantic was out of them when I was looking. I got mine from Guns.com
I have two ZPAPS, one M70 and ZPAP92. Love them both.
I’m looking to get my first one. Any recommendation you could give me? Which one etc etc? Thanks in advance
@@johnburrows1179 Both are built well, they are very high quality. It really depends on you. The M70s with the wood are awesome, and there are many different versions of furniture you could get.
Both do not take AKM pattern rifle/pistol accessories, so it is important to look for Yugo pattern accessories. Both have performed very well and accurately at the range. Holding up to abuse such as being thrown on the ground a few times or just sustained fire. Zero malfunctions ever in about 2000 rounds fired.
I think I like my ZPAP92 Alpha (pistol version 10in barrel, drilled rear trunnion for easy brace addition, as well as top rail dust cover for easy optics) more because it is smaller and I have a side folding brace on it. Makes it easier to transport around etc. It is also so snug to shoot. But so is the M70. Honestly man either is bad ass and you cannot go wrong. I just ordered a new wood set for my M70 rifle, excited to work on it again. I am not sure if my next AK is going to be another rifle or pistol. Cannot go wrong with either. If you do purchase one, give the rifle a good inspection to ensure that it is properly built, just like you would any other firearm.
@@lmCIoudz awesome. Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your response 👍
@@johnburrows1179 I love them so much man. Had a PSAK GF3, fit and finish was good, ran through about 600 rounds through it. Just didn't feel real, I wanted a real deal AK and that's what we have here. Obviously commercial production, but the real deal.
Next AK will probably be a WBP rifle or pistol, want to try out the AKM platform and try to get crazy on one with modern parts.
How’s your Zastavas holding up? Looking to add one next to my PSA GF5
Nice rifles. I own 3 and love them. One of the best ak’s on the market in my opinion.
Straight Shooter- awesome to hear. I have literally watched 1000s of UA-cam videos in the 3 months before I made up my mind to go for this one. I was looking at Arsenal, WASR-10, Palmetto State Armory and a few others but I also didn't want to spend $2-3k on a rifle. I am really pleased with the quality.
@@404tactical7 yup. my first rifle. frerakin awesome.
would you consider selling one of them
Which stock finish is your favorite?
How’s your Zpaps doing? Looking to add one next to my PSA GF5
It feels like quality straight out of the box
I currently am making layaway payments on this same model, I believe, only it has the dark brown furniture. Cost a little over $1,000 but it will be a very good rifle for me to enjoy (hopefully for many years!) Beautiful Zastava you have there! 😍👍
Congratulation on your purchase! Enjoy
Got this in the light maple too and its so pretty, then 2 days later got the M92 alpha variant with the black wood. Both look soooooo good
That's a beautiful M70. I've been considering picking one of these up for my collection. My first AKM was an NPAP that I still own. I feel that Zastava makes one of the best AKs for the price that you can get. I recommend that you pick up some of the 4th generation Magpul mags with the orange tab. The metal inserts make a huge difference. If you have about $60 to spare on a magazine then I really recommend the Bulgarian Arsenal waffle mags. They have a great lock up and probably the best feeding I've seen in an AK mag
good info. Zastava is getting better reputation on quality, fit and finish
Just got mine from Atlantic!! Love mine so far man, I just ordered a couple of those same pmag magazines and I like how they look as well. Thanks for the video!
Congrats on your new rifle! No failures yet on the PMAGs I have. thanks for the comments.
you have the gun everybody in the world want to be able to purchase, enjoy it for us
I will. already planning another purchase. It is a BEAST!
@@404tactical7 what other one would you purchase next a M70 or M90
@@OFCINC Haven't thought about that. right now trying to buy up all the ammo while it's still cheap.
I want one of these so much . Cries in British .
Picked mine up today. Identical. Not crazy about the ash furniture but better than polymere. Pretty hyped about it. Cheers!
Whoo hoo that's is awesome. ENJOY THAT M70!
Ordered mine today...can't wait😁
GREAT! you won't be disappointed with fit and finish
Texas Tactical in Houston Texas,exact same model and color Great value
Got mine today! I love it can’t wait to get it out. My only other ak is a gf3 akp and I already tell I’m gonna like it way better. My only complaint is the engraved read the owners Manuel on the receiver.
Congrats on your new rifle. I bought a pack of gum the other day and the package stated, 'Do not eat gum wrapper'. Really!? Warning labels are for the idiots in the world. LOL
How’s your GF3 holding up? Just got a gf5 looking for feedback
I wanted a century arms but I heard Zastava was worth the extra $300, I am now satisfied with my new M70
Good choice. I considered Century Arms, WASR, PSA and Arsenal. For the money spent on the M70 the quality & performance is top shelf.
These maple furniture ones look really nice. Good price on Atlantic as well. Gonna have to snag one
go for it!
You can get the unfinished wood kit and stain in whatever color you want
Just bought two of them and the m91. Would be at the range plicking them today but that damn Winter Storm on the East Coast has delay the shipment which is okay. Best to drive safe, next weekend i wil take the boys plicking with our new firearms
Sounds good. That M91 Sniper rifle looks great too
This is my fav gun my grandpa had one in army
I have it in walnut and want to get it in maple too. Maybe a side folder someday too.
Walnut looks Great too! Side folder would be cool.
You’re gonna love it. I know I love mine
PAP. I think stands for semi automatic rifle in serbian language (Polu Automatska Puska).
you are spot on!
i always wondered what that meant
Excellent overview. Thanks.
Appreciate your feedback. thank you
The best rifles ever Ak47
nice gun bro, i love the Serbian AK
I just picked up my light maple z-pap from my ffl and its nice rifle, just wish zastava in america would put some kind of finish on the wood before selling.
It's very inexpensive to finish. I like that the option is left to finish the wood to your personal liking. Just my opinion.
Apply a few coats of boiled linseed oil. It’s cheap.
Thanks for sharing 😃
you are welcome- whenever we shoot in groups at the camp people are always wanting to blast a few rounds from this rifle- love it
I need it so bad man! Gotta save up my money to get one ASAP
seen them online in the states for around $950
I believe it’s meters not yards correct me if I am wrong.
The manual says meters but the ranges I have been to all have distances set up in yard(s) intervals so that is why I referenced. I don't do metrics LOL
Very nice
Is the front sight canted or did Zastava fix that issue?
Jean-Paul, sorry it took a while to get your answer. I think these a pretty spot on ua-cam.com/video/HcPPWrGAjdY/v-deo.html
I see everyone talking about Serbian red and walnut stocks. Where the heck is everyone finding these? Zero firearm store near me have any Zastavas except Sportsman’s warehouse which has a single option that’s all polymer with a triangle stock that I am not fond of. I should mention I am located within the peoples republic of Ch… I mean California. Do you purchase them online and have them sent to a local ffl near you?
@@craigm3011 Zastava USA website sells them. Good luck!
Thank you. I see the only CA compliant one is the same one they have at Sportsman’s warehouse. I’ll just have to get one and see about swapping out furniture later. Thanks again. Great review btw.
@craigm3011 Good luck and thanks👍
Right on
hello Mr. 404 Tactical and other guys, the Republic 7.62x39 ammo is reliable for this Zastava M70 riffle?
I noticed that the light maple smells vaguely like maple syrup, whereas the dark maple has a much stonger syrup smell. Plus you can get waffle mags for it... hmm.
Although that sounds delicious. I am getting the Archangel stock version. But I did buy some waffle mags for it.
@@Catgat37 That one is great for shooting but just be aware it doesn't have a trap door for blueberries.
@@-taz- well that sucks. Any compatible aftermarket attachments for it?
@@Catgat37 You will have to tie on a plastic baggie. War is hell.
Great video! I am really loving my M70, haven't run into any function issues with it whatsoever.
Have you considered attaching an optics rail?
Yes. I have the Zastava M70 scope mount. Check out my vid just posted in the last week on that subject. Enjoy your rifle!
Nice, thinking about ordering one of these.
I am in the minority, as I prefer 20 round AK mags over the 30s.
I have no regrets getting mine a few years ago. 3k rounds and she runs great. For the $$ don't think you can get anything better. Tons of aftermarket accessories for Yugo AKs on the market for upgrades or changes. Good luck with your decision, and thanks for the feedback-Doug.
Cool
Looks nice! You also happen to sound like danny mcbride lol
What did you do about the loud ak sling on the butstock
added a green "Russian AK sling" to it
Just picked up the exact same AK. Taking it out this weekend. What sling did you end up going with?
Got mine from Amazon. Advertise as "Original Russian Unissued AK Sling". Looks top shelf. Its green and has hooks on both ends
@@404tactical7 I bought a magpul ms3 sling for my z-pap, kind of expensive though.
@@stevenmiller461 thats pretty cool. the magpul is pricey for sure. I like the fact it can be adjusted quickly but i didnt like the plastic clips.
Can I receive this gun in Pakistan? And how much price of this gun
not sure what gun laws there are in Pakistan but good luck if you are able to purchase. In U.S. these are around $950 USD.
Exactly like mine. That’s a badaas ak
yeah- great rifle
That's all I could find was light Maple....lol I wanted a dark Maple or any dark one but the light maple grew on me especially after I put some boiled linseed oil on it.
Why are you wearing gloves when your inside? 🤔
Hides the tattoos... LOL
Same model with walnut. Love that rifle. I put coats of linseed on the furniture and it looks great, shots great too.
sounds top notch!
Why the gloves?
The edges of the safety lever were razor sharp. I filed them later. thanks for your feedback Flinty McDuff. That is appreciated.
Love my Z PAP but love my wasr more
Great review. Please stop flipping what you’re holding over so many times. It was distracting and stressful trying to look at what you’re reviewing.
Thanks for the feedback.
The steel cleaning Rod will f*** your Barrel up long before shooting will!!!!!!!
Rear site is in meters, not yards. Know you gun.lol
I live in America- we went to war over 200 years ago so we didn't have to use the metric system, LOL
Likes the classic look but not steel mags..too heavy..sounds like what a AR guy would say...ever heard of BAKELITE? OR TRY A 20 round ..btw...their lighter😅
Just got a Russian tula bakelite 30 rd. Mag from Carolina shooters supply in the mail today-pricey though, but looks Fine and fitment is fine. Thanks for the feedback!
@@404tactical7 yeah there nice and very reliable..i just got thru refinishing my maple stock with iodine..it was very simple and turned out with a dark red/orange hue..topped off with 7 coats of true oil..then 0000 steel wool too knock off the shine a bit..it really made the stripes pop..just in case you ever get tired of blonde...cheers
Meters not yards
yes I am aware- thanks for the comments!
👍🏻
I’m getting dizzy!!! Stop flipping the gun!
Matatan Ribirin Hs.🤔
Nice blonde!
That rifle is shit made for export, the M-70 used in Serbia is the real thing, this one doesn't have a trombone or night sight, all in all, shit.
🤦🤦🤣
What's a trombone? These export models have chromed barrels, M70 in Serbia don't. That's more important than cheap night sights. We Americans, we have infra red optical night sights.
@@stoegerstewie8351 You haven't been to war, everything breaks, only cheap night lights don't, if they get damaged they can be easily repaired. Shoot them as much as you want. And tell me which idiot goes hunting with an M70. Just because you Americans are sick of guns doesn't mean you're right.
niiice im getting one tommorow
@@jjs5321 That's good to hear. That is really exciting. Hope you have years of enjoyment. I've had no issues with mine. I appreciate you and the comments!👍👍
What did you do about the loud ak sling on the butstock
I added an olive-green sling. Now I can drop rifle off to the side of the shoulder and draw a pistol.
