Zastava does not do limited editions very often, so when they released the Serbian-American History run of the ZPAP M70, collectors took notice. This one commemorates the long relationship between the United States and Serbia, including the Halyard Mission of WWII, when Serbian villagers helped rescue hundreds of downed American airmen. The rifle wears a custom red, white, and blue Cerakote treatment with 24K gold plated barrel accents, paired with Zastava's signature Serbian red wood furniture. It is a striking piece, and once this run is gone, it is gone.
The commemorative finish is the headline, but the bones here are what earned the ZPAP M70 its reputation. You get the thick 1.5mm stamped receiver and RPK-style bulged front trunnion that Yugoslav-pattern rifles are known for, which is a beefier setup than most stamped AKs on the market. The 16.3 inch cold hammer forged barrel is chrome-lined, a nice upgrade over the original military M70s, and the whole package is built in the same Serbian factory that has been turning out Kalashnikov-pattern rifles by the millions since the design was adopted in 1970. Zastava Arms itself has been making firearms since 1853, so there is real heritage behind the flag colors.
Chambered in 7.62×39 and fed from an included 30-round detachable magazine, this rifle runs the classic gas-operated semi-auto system with a double stack bolt. Adjustable front and rear iron sights come standard, and the safety selector includes the handy bolt hold-open notch that lets you lock the action open. At 7.9 pounds and 35 inches overall, it handles like any other fixed-stock M70, which is to say comfortably. Plenty of buyers will keep this one in the safe as a collectible, but it will shoot just as reliably as the standard models if you decide to take it to the range. Either way, it is a rare chance to own a piece that celebrates a genuinely great story between two countries.
Mechanically it is the same rifle, with the 1.5mm bulged trunnion receiver and chrome-lined 16.3 inch barrel found on standard models. What sets it apart is the commemorative treatment: a red, white, and blue Cerakote finish, 24K gold plated barrel accents, and Serbian red wood furniture. It was released as a limited run honoring Serbian-American history, including the Halyard Mission of WWII.
Yes. The ZPAP M70 uses standard double stack 7.62×39 AK-pattern magazines, and it has a proper double stack bolt, so surplus and commercial mags of various capacities run well in it. One 30-round magazine comes with the rifle.
The ZPAP M70 line includes a Yugo-pattern side rail on the left of the receiver, so you can add a compatible side mount for a red dot or scope. Keep in mind the Yugo mount differs slightly from the Russian-style rail, so make sure any mount you pick is Yugo-pattern compatible. Out of the box, the adjustable front and rear irons are ready to go.
That is really up to you. The chrome-lined cold hammer forged barrel and reinforced receiver mean it will hold up to regular range time just like any other M70. That said, since it is a limited production run, plenty of buyers pick one up primarily as a collectible and keep the finish pristine.
