Reviews for Zastava ZPAPM70 AK-47 Rifle Bulged Trunnion 1.5mm Receiver 7.62x39 16.5" Black Hogue Handguard 30rd *** 10 Free Additional Magazines with Purchase ***

Since I received my ZPAPm70 only 2 days ago and since we are into an "Ammogeddon" situation, I only shot 3 magazines (only 90 rounds), So my review is based on that. Pros: - Seems extremely sturdy. - EVery round cycled correctly. No misfeeds of any type. I only had Russian TulAmmo / Steel cases to try. But it shot them all correctly - I do like the Hogue rubbery furniture below the barrel - it allowed me to grip the gun far better - even after I squirted some Alcohol Gel disinfectant into my hand. Felt great - Cardboard box packaging - disposable - no big deal here. I was not expecting a case. Just making the statement. But it held well for shipping - no well packaged. Cons: - The parts are not the most solid parts in the world. I am so used to high end AR costing a bit more or the same - The rifle is EXTREMELY heavy (came in at nearly 4 KG UNLOADED). - The butt stock is super cheesy and cheap. It took a lot of maneuvering to get it to open and lots of oil - but it worked at the end. - If you remove your above dust cover - it will take 3 armies, 700 men, 1500 sets of eyeballs, 12,000 hands to put it back while holding your nose, upside down and with a porcupine watching on a freezing Texas day. NOT HAPPENING!!!! After so many of us tried it (at the range, with RSOs that knew AK inside and out and sideways) - I found a VIDEO on Youtube who shows how to do this correctly (NONE OF THAT was mentioned in the manual) - you would have to depress the spring catcher holder and catch it with the round button that is located on the side of the rifle). Once you do that, it goes in. This 30 second tip could have saved me hours of frustration - I was about to pack it and send it back - There are Picatinny accessories (as if it had a rail) but it does not have a Front Top barrel rail like all ARs do. It has a SIDE RAIL - so you would FIRST have to get a side rail that is compatible with this gun (pray that yours works) - mount that first - and you end up with a pic rail. WOW. What a pain. The only issue is that they located that to close to the back of the receiver - My training taught me that there should be 10 Centimeter for short ranges (with no magnification). There is a video that shows modifying your side L Bracket so that the Red Dot or Scope mounts at the correct European Mil Spec distance (which is the same as the U.S.' military specification - I believe that to be 3.5 inches). WIth that said, I shot a 2 MOA at 100 Meters using the included iron sights, and about a 1 MOA when I finally mounted the SIG Romeo5 Red Dot Sight with Juliet3 Magnification. My standard deviation at 100 meters was around 2 centimeters. I did use an arm rest. Oh - since this AK does NOT have pic rails on the bottom - you cannot mount a Bipod or hand guard rail. For nearly $1200 - this rifle is just ok - but is NO MATCH AT ALL for a real AR form a quality manufacturer and would come WITH pic rail top and bottom or at least M-Lock or other to mount anything you darn near want. I have not figured out how to mount a suppressor yet as normally, there would be a twisted barrel. I am sure that there is a way - just saying that I personally have not figured it out yet.

Great quality proven rifle. It is Awesome!

Bought one last week, impressed with the quality I bought a second one! Top notch with cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel. Trigger is good with positive reset, overall quality is excellent!

Quality merchandise, as anticipated and super fast shipping! Couldn't ask for anything more!
