The Zastava ZPAP M70 is a semi-automatic AK-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. It has a 16.3-inch chrome-lined barrel built on a 1.5mm stamped steel receiver with a bulged trunnion. This example wears a dark walnut stock and ships without a factory muzzle cut, so it is set up for a DIY furniture install.

Owners of the ZPAP M70 generally like the build quality of Zastava's stamped receivers. The 1.5mm receiver and bulged trunnion feel noticeably stouter than lighter AK builds, and most shooters report the rifle runs reliably once it is broken in and properly lubricated. A common early complaint is that fit and finish out of the box can be rough, with some rifles needing a trigger job or minor cleanup before they feel smooth.

In the hand, the ZPAP M70 handles like a traditional AK: heavier than a carbine-length AR, with the balance and controls people expect from the platform. Furniture-ready examples like this one appeal to shooters who want to pick their own stock and grip rather than live with stock furniture.

On value, the ZPAP M70 sits in the AK market as a solid option for the money, and the aftermarket for AK-pattern parts is large, so magazines, optics mounts, and furniture are easy to find. Some AK purists still prefer other import lines, but the ZPAP M70 has a loyal following among people who like the classic 7.62x39 AK format.
