That’s how it happens...you never plan on buying anything and then you see your dream

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.

Little info about what PAP mean. In Serbian: "Polu Automatska Puska" translated in English: "Semi Autimatic Rifle"

Zastava all the way. Love my lady’s

I’ve owned a Century Arms, C39 V2. American made, milled receiver, under $800. Just a fantastic value, runs with the best of them.

Bravo, nice stripes! I have one as well and older Yugo builds. Much agreed; get one now and best value

So much information packed into this one video. Thank you! Here we are 2 years later and you were absolutely correct.

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.

I have the ZPAP M70 with Hogue furniture. Amazing rifle.

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!

Love my Zastava NPAP DF underfolder 1.0 stamped receiver ,accurate when warmed up at 100 yrds💥👍

Excellent vid. Hope the dire predictions don’t come true but know they might. Beautiful rifle.

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!

Cool video brother! Gotta love AK’s!

Thank-you! I was struggling between walnut and maple when I came across this video. Good information to help make the decision.

Beautiful rifle, with that wood and simple cool look, gun for all life! I choose M-70 Zastava!

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!

Thanks for the heads up on oiling the furniture I just did my new red Russian ak47 and it really looks fantastic!!!!

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.

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!

Great info! Your love for AKs can be clearly seen. You’ve convinced me to pick one up soon.

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.

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

I purchased the walnut version in July.I absolutely love it!

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

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.

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.

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 🙏

I agree. The stock market is about to collapse. AK's are an excellent investment. Great video. I just subscribed.

Great review, ton of useful information 👍

New viewer and subscriber... I appreciated the conversation... 🍻

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.

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.

The original stock on the ZPAP is meant to double as a back up oar or paddle in Alaska :-)

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.

As I understand Zastava has greenlight export to US up until 2027. This is from company statement last month.

Great info...nice job.....COULDNT AGREE MORE...LOVE MY ZPAP M70

Absolutely beautiful wood and blueing

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 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.

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.

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.

Just got a zpap it's the magpul folder and quad rail. Thinking of going to wood furniture. What optic is that?

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.

I love the wood grip. It’s original to the AK. Looks good. Feels good. Is good.

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!!

When the Romanian SARs started thinning out, WASRs were going for $150ish. Can't believe how expensive they are now.

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...

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.

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 love the zpap great gun.

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.

Good video I have a you go n pap pay 450 for it about 3,years ago I love it

Great review! What are your thoughts on the WPB Jack chambered in 7.62x39?

Excellent review!!! Thank you. 🐕

Ur right about that hammer issue. I smoothed and ground it to function better and it makes a big difference

Great video! Thank you

This video made me buy that rifle...thanx dude💕🇺🇸

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.

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 the same exact Zpap with the tiger wood. I have not shot it yet but my question is what kind of oil did you use for the wood I would like to coat mine before using? Thanks!

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.

Any thoughts on the ZASTAVA USA Polymer magazines with metal locking lugs?

First time here, great video!

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.

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‼️

Excellent video. Thank you sir.

Will the boiled linseed oil hurt the finish on the metal/ receiver at all? I don't know whether I am supposed to take the furniture off before applying it.

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.

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 😁

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.

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

Just bought the sam7sf milled. I love it.

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.

you were right about imports!! Good call

about 10 years ago i traded a non running 98 yamaha blaster for a ak 47 a guy built, shot it a few years and then put it in my gun case and have'nt shot it in like 5-7 years, looks like this gun but with a dark cherry wood stock, the receiver is stamped d c industries inc st paul mn and is pinned pressed not rivets, no side mount, the sling is on the left side of the receiver and the gas block, has the tapco g2 trigger which i havent seemed to have a problem with it jamming, also has the button @16;50, the safety doesnt have the bolt hold open slot. any info on what i may have?

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.

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

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.

Good review, thanks! What do you recommend for ammo (steel v. brass), and which extra mags?

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.

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.

Came to learn about AKs, stuck around to chuckle at the fearmongering.

I really want one. I recebtly got rid of my C39V2 AK and have regreted it. But now looking for another AK. What was the retail price on these variants?

The TGI AMD-65 is one of my favorites

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.

ZPAP is a solid rifle for sure. Nice review.

I'm new to AK's and was on a Groupe on Facebook. This guy on there said he worked on guns and this was the worst you could get. He absolutely said they were a piece of crap. I differed with him and he sort of got mad. He said "listen" to me... these guns are crap. I would never buy one. I think you for confirming what I thought. And this is the one I'm going to buy.

Just picked mine up today zpap m-70 hogue forend. $ 1039 at my local shop. Go figure this m-70 and ruger mini 30 pops up the same day went with the zastava. Question everyone ig you had to pick m-70 or mini 30 which one qould you go with?

Great video brother.-SLAV 🇺🇸

This was a decent video, learned a few things

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

I would love to just sit down and have a conversation about Aks with you your very knowledgeable

Just bought the one you got today 💯💯!!

Any recommendations or tips on removing paint from a rifle you’ve rattle-canned?

Can you please recommend a AK for a first time owner.i have been doing research and watching videos but still unsure of what model would suit my needs . looking for a home defense and and a minute monthly range visit

Better to run steel cased wolf ammo in this or brass?

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

I've had great luck with mine, got a full tactical Zastava while I could. 2000 rounds later I'm a happy camper 😅
