Zastava all the way. Love my lady’s
Shes not a lady
@SCN No Ak is the best in US
@SCN for the price, Zastava is better than a Wasr 10, VSKA or a Riley defense.
@@thevally6127 where do u think the sam7 falls
@@cbj14 Sam 7 is a really good rifle unfortunately the price is really high now.
That’s how it happens...you never plan on buying anything and then you see your dream
Yep 👍🏻
What a wonderful video. Only watched it about 20 times! Zeroing in my OPAP, excuse me, my ZPAP this morning. Looking forward to more videos from you.
I’ve wanted a PAP rifle for years, and I just ordered me a ZPAP today. I’ve been watching them for a while and they keep flying off the shelves. I finally found one on GBroker new in the box for $1K and jumped at it. It’s the polymer furniture version, I’d rather wood instead but I’m not going to complain. I’m glad I waited this long to get one because I’m getting the best features this far. Awesome presentation. Thanks for sharing.
You can get walnut or maple furniture on the zastava site.
So much information packed into this one video. Thank you!
Here we are 2 years later and you were absolutely correct.
In cases like this, I hate to be right. Thank you for the compliment
Bravo, nice stripes! I have one as well and older Yugo builds. Much agreed; get one now and best value
I’ve owned a Century Arms, C39 V2. American made, milled receiver, under $800. Just a fantastic value, runs with the best of them.
And a cast trunnion... Lol
Little info about what PAP mean. In Serbian: "Polu Automatska Puska" translated in English: "Semi Autimatic Rifle"
Thanks for the translation!
@Josh Culick Get serious man. You'r writing bullshit. The first translation is correct!
@Josh Culick it shows you know nothing about these guns, otherwise you wouldn't Google "ZPAP". Moron...
Tacno bre
PAP is also the designation for the American design.
I just got one wednesday. my WASR (1st AK) was about 6 moa from 100 yards. shot the Zpap today. Very much improvement! Love it!
6 moa from 100 yards lol that is 100% on yourself and the ammo
I picked up the ZPAP M70 with polymer furniture. I didn’t plan on buying anything the day that I picked it up. So happy that I did. It runs as smooth as a sewing machine. Excellent rifle.
Keep shooting it. The more you shoot the smoother it gets. My underfolder is by far my smoothest rifle. It even gives the krebs a run for its money in that department.
HAHAHAHA SAME SAME SAME
Love my Zastava NPAP DF underfolder 1.0 stamped receiver ,accurate when warmed up at 100 yrds💥👍
Cool video brother! Gotta love AK’s!
I purchased the walnut version in July.I absolutely love it!
Good choice!
@Josh Culick Me too! Don't forget to give the wood some love with linseed oil.
@ron stone5 Zastava USA has them on their website. Bit pricey and takes some time and patience, but totally worth it
how much is it right now?
@@RockfordOrdnance what ammo would you recommend for these? steel or brass?
Beautiful rifle, with that wood and simple cool look, gun for all life! I choose M-70 Zastava!
Excellent vid. Hope the dire predictions don’t come true but know they might. Beautiful rifle.
Thank-you! I was struggling between walnut and maple when I came across this video. Good information to help make the decision.
Glad it was helpful!
Call me crazy but I love the laminated furniture. Just for the look.
I agree. The stock market is about to collapse. AK's are an excellent investment. Great video. I just subscribed.
Could not agree more, insider selling is rampant and always a sign of a blow off top !
I have been wondering this too!
@@MrSymbolic7 you called it.
Nailed it
I decided to get on-board with the potential AK import bans and am shopping around. I was deciding between ZPAP M70 and the WBP Box, and after watching your video I am now going to start looking for the ZPAP. Thank you so much for an extremely detailed info video. It really helped me a lot and I'm sure I say that for other folks who are looking to get into the AK import game.
Thank you! Now go get yourself the Fox! or better yet perhaps a Polish Beryl!! Keep stacking the imports. Trust me you will thank me a year or two from now.
Did you get the ZPAP? Hope so.
@@madride858585 Indeed I did! I also put on a Lantac Drakon brake and it shoots very sweet! Definitely a gun that I'm keeping forever!
Yeah, I'm buying AK's up. It's amazing we can still buy the most deadly assault rifle ever manufactured. Thank you Ar-15 for getting all the attention away from the AK !!! All it will take is one "nut" to thin out the neighborhood with an AK instead of an AR, and yup, the Ak's will be banned first.
Iam a veteran. I have shot all kinds of rifles. The AK is simply beautiful. To me I think God made them. Great video thanks for sharing.
very informative...and haven't had an AK know very little about them but this was really cool and hope to see more. very good. Thanks for sharing.
Many many many more to come. If there is something specific you would like revolving around ak's, please let me know. All this useless knowledge rattling around in my head! LOL!
Nice vid! Got my beautiful Zastava last month and as a long time ak owner this is the best ak I've had so accurate and smooth as well as durable. Got the m70 npap!
Absolutely beautiful wood and blueing
I have the ZPAP M70 with Hogue furniture. Amazing rifle.
what ammo do you use for it? steel or brass?
Great info! Your love for AKs can be clearly seen. You’ve convinced me to pick one up soon.
You should! Pick a solid import. Wasr, zastava, arsenal. That order is going from least expensive to most expensive. Import rifles are for the most part built in military factories and will be built to those standards. They will work and last.
I'm hooked on AKs been for 20 years when you could get wasrs for 325 brand new lol
Never knew that high hump on the hammer is what caused the tail mushrooming. Makes sense! I smoothed out the top of my ALG hammer on my Romanian to let it ride smoother but didn’t on my PSA AK103. I noticed the mushrooming on my PSA but my Romanian looks good. Now I will smooth out the hammer on my PSA. Thanks for the info!
It's not the hump that causes the mushrooming. What causes it is the hammer being harder than the bolt carrier tail. Tapco G2 triggers were notorious for being hardened more than most carriers and would mushroom the tails. There have been reports of earlier batches of ALG triggers that were too hard. Personally I have not experienced the problem with ALG's but I have with Tapso's. I wouldnt worry yourself about it. Typically if they do mushroom, its only a little bit and stops and really doesnt matter. In a perfect world both would be hardened to the same Rockwell hardness and would stay perfect. But.....
My first good A.K was a Yugoslav underfolder with the flip up night sights that were no longer lit up, it had the wood hand grips and black plastic pistol grip. It looked like it had been in storage for years and got imported. I got mine when the old ban was lifted in the early 2000's
ok, so a good ol M70ab2 That was one rifle that Century got right. Check out my video on it. It was my first as well
@@RockfordOrdnance I was thinking about that AK-47 and it had another sight in the front that folded up and it was for grenade launchers. I had forgotten about that but I just remembered that was on that Yugoslav and that was a very good AK and I wish I still had it.
Thanks for the heads up on oiling the furniture I just did my new red Russian ak47 and it really looks fantastic!!!!
I love the zpap great gun.
Great review, ton of useful information 👍
Great info...nice job.....COULDNT AGREE MORE...LOVE MY ZPAP M70
you were right about imports!! Good call
I truly like you from what I’ve seen in your videos. A guy that’s not pushing sponsors and is truly excited about his guns. I’d love to have a cup of coffee and just hangout as two regular guys with similar interests.
You got a really nice set of hand guards, I'm jealous. My stock looks amazing but my hand guards I wish had more striping. They are beautiful guns though. I used tung oil on mine and it's beautiful.
Well, if you'll trade me stocks, mine will look amazing! My stock is sort of plain and darker than the handguard.
New viewer and subscriber... I appreciated the conversation... 🍻
Thanks and welcome!
LOVE your videos! Totally agree about your talking points. These and the Arsenal sam7s could be the next "Polytech Legends" and Veprs. Protectors metals are now copper brass and lead. Those tiger stripes look fantastic. Great find!
Glad you like them!
Arsenal’s are king.
The original stock on the ZPAP is meant to double as a back up oar or paddle in Alaska :-)
aint that the gods honest truth! Even looks like a canoe paddle and your cheek feels like you were hit with one after a mag or two.
Kenai edition 😆
I love the wood grip. It’s original to the AK. Looks good. Feels good. Is good.
Yes some people call the AK ugly, I've always found it good looking with the wood stock.
Just bought the red side folder version of it last night, for 1400. I'll get the Mapel one and the walnut one next as well. I bought the original Century import M70AB2 wood furniture underfolder in 2005-06 for $450 Nib, with two mags, bayonet, sling and cleaning kit. Still got it, and it still runs like a champ. I can't think of one FTF over the past 15yrs. Wanted an all Serbian made one, so I was looking at the Michelle imports from the 80s. However, they are about 3-4K. So now that Zastava created Zastava USA, and are exporting their guns (minus the compliance tid bits) I had to get one. Or three...
I got a couple m70ab2's back in 05 as well. Same thing! Never a jam, not one. Things are tanks.
@@RockfordOrdnance fixed stock or folding stock?
Went to the gun shop and I asked the owner if Zastava was worth the extra money compared to century arms, and he told me all the rifles in for repair were made by century, not a single Zastava. Just purchased my M70 the other day very satisfied
Ive had one for over 15 years and its never missed a beat.
As I understand Zastava has greenlight export to US up until 2027. This is from company statement last month.
I agree about the ZASTAVA ZPAP so does a lot of other reviewers
Nice FAB & TDI furniture on your NPAP
looks like my VEPR
I bet our veprs look identicle!
@@RockfordOrdnance, I am quite sure that they're very similar ......GL Core buttstock and AG 47 pistol grip, TDI was out of stock so I found the Alfa from the Russian Federation basically what TDI copied and I have a Cheese Grater gastube cover. 3X Primary Arms acs reticle scope
This video made me buy that rifle...thanx dude💕🇺🇸
Excellent review!!! Thank you. 🐕
Great video! Thank you
Ur right about that hammer issue. I smoothed and ground it to function better and it makes a big difference
My new ZPAP looks so cozy sitting next to my M-48 Mauser. Two amazing rifles. BTW , thanks for the prediction about banning imports. Here I am writing in October of 2021 , and the ban on Russian ammo is very real.
Yet the prices on the ammo went down on them so glad stock up
Wait since when are they banning russian ammo?
@@zataraadventures Since putin decided to kill innocent children and babies.
Got mine on black friday. Went in looking for an AR but they were so expensive and the clerk talked me into a Zpap because of import bans and local ammo avalability.
Go buy that clerk a cake. He guided you right, great purchase.
Finally got one a few weeks ago for $1300 !! I wish I would have grabbed one when they were $800-$1000, but glad I got the chrome lined barrel. Now I have some shooting to do.
You and me both! Mine was just a hair less.
I was at budsgun shop here in tn and they had one for 1350 and I called another place and found one for 950 bought it and now they got 6 left
Good overview. The Bulgarian stuff is in another price category, so for basic AK's most people get to choose between Zastava and Cugir (Romanian). I've had really good luck with the Romanian imports for what its worth. Cugir rifles have been imported by M+M as well as Century (WASR, RH10, Draco etc) and they are all good to go.
First time here, great video!
Thanks for watching! Check out our livestreams, we do them on either tuesday or wednesday nights.
When the Romanian SARs started thinning out, WASRs were going for $150ish. Can't believe how expensive they are now.
When were WASRs selling for $150 🤔
Excellent video. Thank you sir.
Very welcome
this year I was able to get a vepr 6.5 Grendel and then a psak47 in green polymer. SVD style furniture for the vepr then cheese grater for the AK.
Good video I have a you go n pap pay 450 for it about 3,years ago I love it
Same here... Now there worth about 3x that!!!
Man this was a year ago and now it's so much worse. I just bought a VSKA and wish I would have bought the Zastava zpapm70 but very very serious about getting it anyway. Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it.
BuT iTs America mAerd
I did get the zpap m70. Still have the vska too.
Got my girl an SLR-95 last Christmas. 800 bucks for an Arsenal?! Couldn't pass that up! Of course I picked it up right about the time people started fighting over toilet paper. Quite possibly one of the smoothest actions of any rifle I've ever held. Might have to keep my ear to the ground for one of these for myself 😁
Out my collection of AKs the Zpap definitely has the best fit and finish. Glad i got one before they went up to over a grand. Things are getting crazy with prices right now.
@F RR Well yea. AKs are supposed to use steel why would you use brass? First AK?
Yup! Price went up! I pay $1499 for mine.
@F RR Hell, I use steel case on anything. If I can get steel for it, its running it. I run it in my tavor, my AR's, AK's my scorpions and anything else I can get steel for in the correct caliber. Why not? its cheap and I can tell you from experience it doesnt hurt a dam thing. Dont listen to those that will tell you otherwise. Put it this way, your grandson will be shooting the gun before steel case ammo wears it out.
@@hxgianni1 damn
came up short on ammo today but got that carbine length buffer spring for my emergency parts and got some intel and the gun shop owners have the ar15 and ak in stock and parts parts are still cheap the guns arent selling because ammo is harder to find but now the last thing i need is a bcg i want a nickle boron or hard chromed but mine is brand new so that would be a spare thanks for all your help and i owe you big i mean it i was a clinton baby and remember i was 5 when that hit and my dad and i couldnt find better guns until i was a junior in high school so thank you for helping us rock.
sounds like your pretty well set for parts. Parts for ak's will be around for a long long time yet and frankly always available. Concentrate on ammo, import rifles if you want them and other preps that might get real thin. Mags too.
@@RockfordOrdnance will do rock i hope if they ruin our government more that we at least get a bigger check next time thet 600 went long was for me but it wsnt enough to finish things getting set up
Just bought the sam7sf milled. I love it.
The zpap is an awesome rifle for the money but I put the sams in a different class. Not necessarily a better class just different. The milled guns have a different feel. Again, different not necessarily better. I tend to prefer stamped guns. For whatever reason I like the looks better, I like that I can run a heavier barrel but be roughly the same weight as a milled and I've got stamped guns that are smoother than my sams. That being said, I love my Sam side folder and my sam pistol. The sidefolder shoots so well for me! With iron sights and offhand shooting, I just cant miss! The thing is like a laser beam. Must just be it fits me well, handles well and is very accurate. Maybe I was having a good day, who knows. I shot the zpap and the Sam back to back the other day and definitely shot the Sam better but I love the yugos more and if I had to choose would probably keep my yugos over my sams.
Beautiful gun just what I was looking for where can I get the accessories keep the videos coming got links where to get the accessories 🙏
Hands down best AK on the market right now value wise. I totally agree with you on some of the more proprietary aspects of the gun. I LIKE having more real-estate on my handguard. Gives you plenty of room for a light and a good foregrip if you so choose. I like how beefy they built the gun in general. The extra thickness on the receiver and bulged front trunnion are huge for durability and longevity of service. Also the gun is less janky feeling than a lot of other AK's on the market IMO. You shouldn't have to spend 2k to get a AK that doesn't seem like a drunk person built it and passed the QC on it.
The only other AK on the market right now making waves is the WBP Jack and the mini Jack and that gun is just not as good of a buy for the value. You can find Zastava's for as low as 900 bucks some places. Those WBP Jacks are coming out the gate at 1400-1500 bucks and its REALLY nothing special. Its JUST an AKM that WORKS and lives up to what an AK should be able to do. Its fucked up that the AK market is so fucked up right now that people will spend that much for a reliable AK. In all honesty no AK should get to 2k and most shouldn't cost more than 700-800 bucks the only reason they do is because people fucking buy em for those inflated prices and I mean value is almost meaningless. Cause you can buy a PSA piece of junk novelty AK for the same price just about as the Zastava which is an actual working gun you could use in the field if you needed to and its going to be reliable. and so will the WBP but it costs 500 dollars more, and the only benefit you really get is compatibility of furniture. And the only time that's going to matter is if the world collapses and you gotta survive in the woods on limited resources and you needed a new handguard for your AK or some shit. its going to be a lot easier if you have a "mil-spec" kind of gun so to speak. But truth be told if that happened 75% of us would probably be dead before we had a chance to even do anything to begin with. So it doesn't really matter to me. I think the whole compatibility thing is over sold by people who live a fantasy about if a SHTF scenario arises they're just going to be out there surviving in the wasteland like Ellie and Joel or some shit. When the harsh reality is if things got that bad chances are something would happen that would lead to a huge death toll and your 3/4 chances going to be one of the people who dies from a god damn nuke or something like that. Everybody is a side character who thinks they're a protagonist in this world. That's part of the reason we have so many victim minded people running around. Cause no matter how badly you want to believe the world revolves around you, like a movie revolves around a protagonist, you find out very harshly that the world doesn't give a fuck about you. Aint no divine plan. Aint no narrative. Aint no plot armor. and the good ones suffer first. That's just reality. As sad as it is.
Bro ,you good ? We all our own heroes;) A look at the stars is all we need to remind ourselves how trivial we all are on this rock. Just remember that we passed a pandemic and living in the best times humans ever existed on this rock.
So PSA Ak with forged parts and cold hammer forged barrels are any good ?
@@1308SPAZZ PSA are good in terms of NOVELTY grade AK's. They are 100% produced for the civilian market by people who haven't even been doing it for 10 years yet.
Not saying PSA doesn't make GOOD AK's there is just a very obvious difference in quality when you compare a gun like a PSA AK to someone who has been doing it for generations now, and also builds these guns for their countries military and there fore have more experience but also they build these guns to actually work. Not just to sit in chads gun safe for 98% of the year, every year. This is why is preach so hard on Zastava being probably the best bang for the buck right now.
Another reason I don't particularly like PSA is because, I don't give a fuck what they say, everything they make is mass produced. That's why PSA has the inconsistencies it has with its QC. Yes companies like Zastava mass produce their guns too, but then we go back to experience and standards being what separates these two companies.
Zastava has bad eggs too. Every company does. But PSA has a few guns that, are just having some very basic level problems. And for the prices they are asking for on some of the 100 series guns PSA can eat a dick. I dont care if they serve the gun with a lifetime warranty. Im not paying 1300 bucks, waiting 2 weeks for it, to see its one of the guns with issues so I gotta send it back in. That shit right there kills the gun for me, idc who it comes from.
So my issues with PSA are basically trust related. I trust they'll do the right thing, but I also trust that there's a fair chance that I buy an AK from them to find out the firing pin is out of spec, or any of the other issues they have been reported having. Nd I dont play around with 1300 bucks. If im spending 1300 on a AK that bitch better run. And that's why I bought a M92 instead of the PSAK105 I was going to get originally.
@@stoegerstewie8351 lol, yeah. I dont remember what exact mindset I was in when I wrote that bottom part lol. Im guessing it was a night where I was a little stressed out, probably popped a bottle open too lol. Whiskey and SHTF videos lol Im guessing thats what I was on lol
I tried to buy a Tiger Maple online when it was first released from a reputable and well-known dealer and the website indicated that I made the purchase. But because so many were making the purchase for that same rifle, I got screwed out of getting one. figured that Zastava would make another batch and even one gun store told me they had some on the way. But alas, it wasn't to be for me again. I almost got the Serbian Red triangle folder ZPAP but thankfully, someone online wrote that if I want a Tiger Maple that bad, I should go to a website where I found several on auction. I wasn't going to wait so I paid double the price a few days ago. I don't have the luxury of living in a free state, so I can't bid for valuable items that might soon be banned by that decrepit, brain-damaged resident and his boss.
Just got a tiger maple for $999 brand new. As soon as I saw it I snatched it up and sold my PSA GF3 to get some of my money back lol
DK Firearms has them back today if you are still wishing.
@@gordotortuga8748 DK is great
There is no such thing as tiger maple.
@@RepentorPerish77what brand rifle? You sold your PSA so I figure I should look into whatever brand you have
Ordered my ZPap over a month ago in walnut, and just put the 10th coat of Tung oil on it...it looks absolutely beautiful. I paid $1050 for it, but I know prices will only go up.
10 coats?

@@rustcoalnope that’s about what it is after tax. $992.99 then about $1,058 if I remember after tax. I got mine for $967 after tax with a code and free shipping.
Got the zpap92 pistol ...love it ...new to ak’s so I don’t really have anything to compare it to but I’ve heard great reviews on it ..Shxt is loud‼️
Congratulations!!! You chose well! As your first album, I know all to well how exciting it is and how much you probably love that gun. My first was a Yugo as well. Enjoy and spread the word to all you know. What’s important is that we gain 2a supporters or this way of life is over my friend. Try to introduce someone new everyday, especially the young.

I chose the Zpap pistol also. It’s in the mail and I’m patiently waiting for it to arrive.
@@sanchosgotcha2749 it’s a really good firearms ..you’ll enjoy it
L.D. MUSIC what makes it so much sweeter is I won it in a package with a brace and red dot already on it. I was bored one day and entered a raffle.
@@sanchosgotcha2749 ah man ur lucky lol I had to buy all that stuff and put it on mine but that’s dope‼️ let me know how you like it 👍
I agree this is definitely one of the best, if not the best, of the civilian AK variants. My only complaint is that they went with a proprietary side mount instead of just offering a Piccatinny railed dust cover. LoL that we don;t see corrosive ammo anymore. I have several unopened crates of corrosive M67 ammo.. Lots of places still sell that ammo. I like the new Polish magazines.
I low-key like the original look of side mounts
Side mount all day.
ZPAP is a solid rifle for sure. Nice review.
@steven miller correct. 1.5mm receiver, hammer forged chrome lined heavy barrel and bulged trunion. Kind of a RPK carbine
@steven miller that is too much. Mine was 950, and I think that was too much.
Just looked on classic firearms, they're $1500 +tax and shipping now
Thanks for another very informative video Sir!! Love your channel and please keep the videos coming. God bless you and your family, and stay safe out there!!
Thanks, will do!
I’d say the New FB Radom 7.62 x 39 is …but agreed the zastava zpap and wbp fox are tops for the cost.
Great video brother.-SLAV 🇺🇸
Truly a Slav my brother
The TGI AMD-65 is one of my favorites
I own one I call it my lil ugly lmao...it's loud as hell!
I have had a few but im gonna tell you right now PSA makes a damn good AK. Nice and tight and don't feel like it's about to shake apart in your hands.
I have not shot one but I have seen them in person. The one's with the FN barrel sure seem well built and I have not heard anything bad about them.
Don’t be scared, palmetto state is making incredible ak’s if you’re concerned about performance. If you’re looking for collectibility; buy now and buy fast
This was a decent video, learned a few things
I purchased a Century Arms Thunder Ranch for $1400 after tax back in March, 2 weeks later I saw a ZPAP for 1250 + tax. As of yet I have nothing to complain about but I still wish I had waited for the ZPAP
Ha! Ive got a thunder ranch AR on the way.
Wonderful. Another "This is the best AK in the world" video. Might I suggest that the "best AK in the world" is the one you can afford and find it in stock when you're looking for an AK.
I absolutely agree with you. That's why I didnt say best ak in the world. The title is Best ak on the market today. Meaning best ak that is available and a good price considering the current market.
Krebs,rifle d. And meridian as far custom....standard zastava usa i love mine
You know I agree with you! I was going toward the factory stuff but Yea, Krebs takes the cake for custom AK's ! Hell, I dont even consider them custom, I consider them a manufacturer as well. Just a high end one. If I had to keep just one or a go to war rifle, definitely my Krebs. I would probably ditch that zenitco furniture I have on mine and go to either the factory arsenal poly folder that came on it or the factory triangle stock. I would either put one of marks handguards on it or the TDI and for an optic I would either run my PA 3x prism or PA 1x6 and that folks is in my opinion the best ak. But for factory guns I'll take the yugo.
I actually forgot you had a zpap. I told you I was going to end up getting one! If you guys want to see a nicely done zpap, go over to my buddy's channel, eltenda's channel! This guy right here! He put together and added some things that make his one sweet looking rifle! Im going over to your video right now to refresh my memory. You added one of mark's handguards right?
@@RockfordOrdnance yes sir! And I like it! Krebs customs for the win bro'!
I think meridian defense is top dawg now, they suppressor tune their guns included in the $15-1600 price, 🤔 whereas RDynamics, your paying over $2k for a suppressor tuned gun. Don't get me wrong , every custom builder you mentioned are the shit, just throwing 2 cents in.
@@choppahgobark I mean at this point they are just Romanian build kits with extra parts. but you do you. They dont even make their base guns Arsenals anymore.
Great Video.
The Serbian AK's have always been a great bargain for what you buy.
Do you have a sling recommendation for the M70? I picked up a 2 pt with leather clasps at both ends. Even giving myself the most length the clasp attached to the stock slips to one side and pulls at the attachment if I bring the rile up to firing position. Picked up the walnut variety at Crossroads of the West in July. Tiger Maple or Serbian Red was my desire but the latter was $600 because it had a folding stock. Walnut does not look too shabby. Still happy. Taking it to the range tomorrow morning for the first shoot. My first rifle. Have a stock retail magazine it came with to clean up which your other video will come in handy for.
I really like original yugo military slings but they can be a bit short depending on how you want to run them. Romanian slings are great too. As far as aftermarket goes, I like the magpul ms3 slings. The clips work well on typical ak sling attachment points.
Hi Rockford Ordnance. What State are you making your video's in? I just seen your channel for the first time this morning and I subscribed.
Just got a zpap it's the magpul folder and quad rail. Thinking of going to wood furniture. What optic is that?
I'm so happy I put one in layaway I knew just feeling the zastava it was a good ak feels 20 times better than century arms
Just bought the one you got today 💯💯!!
Hope you enjoy it! Awesome choice! You're going to love it.
Fuck that. PSA GF5 is amazing. So many differnet flavors too, side folders, underfolders, fixed stock, gas block combo, non-combo, 8", 12.5" 16" barrels, nitride barrel, CHF barrel, rail systems, ALG Trigger, and furniture galore.
Hmm, Just Picked Up JDI Swiss San 553R Added To My Other Ak's Too Bad I Will Probably Never Shoot It As It Was A Investment Like Most Of My Gun Collection, But Enjoy You Commentary And Experience Always Pick Up Something Useful Thanks Brother.
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
GOOD EXPLANATION.
Came to learn about AKs, stuck around to chuckle at the fearmongering.
Came here to be a liberal tyrant gotcha
I hear that people on the AK files say the chrome is flaking. Mine is holding up very well. I loved my Zastava. I picked mine up in June 2020 for about $799.00. My Bosnian friend told me they did not chrome line their barrels so that they could quickly make the barrels in case of a war.
Lots of rumors about why they didntuse chrome. Some say they lacked the natural resources in their country and would have to rely on importing the chromium.
@@RockfordOrdnance There was no need to chrome line barrels. It is simple, you have to keep your rifle clean. Every soldier in Yugoslav (latter Serbian) army had obligation to return his rifle in the same condition after a one year service. 5 % of barrel damage was allowed. If there was more damage, you should pay for it (although, I never heard that such a case ever occured). So, keeping your riflle clean and in the good order on daily bases was a priority.
Ive heard the same from some guys who served in the yugo army. The reason some folks here in the states get so worked up about it is that back when ak's first started coming in, all there was was milsurp corrosive ammo. They would go shooting and not clean the rifle right away and then pick the gun up a week later to find the bore all rusted. Now with commercial ammo, its not a problem but they will then insist a chrome bore will last longer. This is usually the same guy who puts 20 rounds through it every couple years. The rifles will outlast them and their grandchildren. LOL!
GF3 for the money is really a great AK
I have a Zastava UF, WASR 1063, and An Egyptian Maadi, but TBH my PSA GF3 fit n finish is the best lol
You were right and On-Target...."Let's go Brandon" did it and more....I got $1000 ZPAP today....maybe not best price but its fun....thanks
Not a bad price either! Congrats! How does yours shoot?
Proud owner of a SGL 31... Looking at the past wish I could bought 3 for the same price.
I know right? Congrats! You have a beautiful rifle!
ye. I ordered a czechpoint made VZ 58 last week. figure there will be an import ban. i should probably get an AK. im an AR guy. but i want to have things I wont be able to get in the future. I think you sold me on a Z-pap. I regret not grabbing one up this week at brownells for 969.
funny. i made that comment before i watch the end of the video. i drew the same conclusion. ANYTHING you want from overseas. BUY IT NOW.
Got 2 love them
I didn't have a choice as far as wood or hogue setup .It popped up as available at 5:25 in the morning . I had to go feed the critters ,I didn't hesitate I ordered right then no waiting to confer with the BOSS , ""Life or Death Decision """ I know ,I know. At 5:45 it was no longer available , and has not been since. Everywhere you go now Ak's are over a thousand everywhere they can be found , which is like finding a white Unicorn. My M70 was $799.99 in Sept 20 , Jan 13th 21 $ 999.99 and My fingers were typing so fast the keyboard was smoking. I had to wait 7 weeks before I got it .I agree boys and girls ,if you don't get one now , you may never get the chance ever again. They have been banned 3 times in my lifetime , the 4th will be the last ,wanna bet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Century's are unavailable everywhere too . And they are nothing compared to a Zastava. If nothing else great investment . Peace.
If you see one, buy it. doesnt matter what you payed if you cant get one. This may be the final nail in the coffin.
I've literally been stalking every store in my state and I finally found one :)
Congrats! Have you shot it yet?
@@RockfordOrdnance omg I love the Tiger striped maple ! Thank you for the informative video as well . Zastava is #1 for the $
@@RockfordOrdnance yes sir ! I absolutely love it, my favorite rifle.
Any thoughts on the ZASTAVA USA Polymer magazines with metal locking lugs?
Yep, ive got a few and they have run flawlessly so far. I cant tell you yet what the future holds for them but so far so good. I got a case of tula today so should have a few fun range days coming up!
He was so correct on buying now you know the old saying Thoes that hesitate !!!
You’re scaring me with all of this ban talk 😂
I have a wasr 10/63 uf but on the fence of getting a zpap m70 I think I'm going to pull the plug soon.. start an ak collection
