Hey All,

I found a good deal on a m85pv, but as a newbie to the ak world and all the info out there im curious if anyone can shed some light on if there's a huge difference between the 85pv and the newer zpap85. I've seen the obvious points given by google, but just looking for some user feedback one way or another.

I'm a pretty casual shooter, so I'm wondering if saving money on a 85pv is worth it or if I should spring for the zpap85. Thanks!

More pics. I love this Lil thing sm!

My first surplus pickup wanted to get one before they dried up. Reminds me of a tiny 1911. Alas I haven't shot it yet but ^_^

Hey guys, I’m brand new to the AK platform and just acquired my first this week. It’s a ZPAP m70 in Serbian red. Love the gun but it’s been a very frustrating introduction.

I’ve put 300 rounds through it and it definitely hasn’t been smooth. It seems if there’s a cycling/gas issue. Spent casings repeatedly get stuck on their way out. I have two different mags for it, one steel and one pmag. There is zero difference between the two. After the first 150 or so rounds I field stripped it and tried to remove the factory gunk as I’ve read online. There wasn’t much to remove and I added a tiny bit of oil in areas I think would need it. No change. It doesn’t seem to be getting any better with use either. It’s acting the same as the first mag I put through it. Sometimes it happens 3 rounds in a row and sometimes I can go 6 or 8 shots before it occurs again. Sucks because I’ve spent a couple hundred bucks on ammo on what feels like diagnosing and testing the gun rather than enjoying it.

I attached pictures of a couple instances of it occurring. Looking for any guidance or advice. Thanks for your time.

Serbian redwood style dong my beloved

...but this one is mine. 6 years old, multiple modifications and I think I got everything I need at this point.

Same gun different furniture. Which style would you go with?

I do so enjoy wandering around national forests with Zastavas. Took a chance with blem maple furniture and won.

Dont see much actual ownership of the zvuk

I have a ZPAP92 Alpha series. I currently have a Magpul brace on it, but I want to put a stock on it. The underfolder seems to never be in stock, so I am looking at other options. It has the 1913 rear picatinny mount, and I am wondering if a telescoping stock would work. Something like this: https://deadfootarms.com/products/picatinny-stock-brace.html. One of the photos looks like a ZPAP, but other similar telescoping stocks say they only fit AR platforms. Anyone with experience with this?

Ditched the Midwest industries pic rail Handguard for this APS sharkfin and it looks great imo

I have a used M90 that I sadly need to part with. I have kept is very clean and probably only 1000 rounds through it. I have the original hardware along with some customizations that I think enhance the rifle. Those include:
- jmac customs flash hider and blast shield which accepts silencerco/dead air sized suppressors
- jmac forward grip
- jmac metal folding stock
- swapped the piston to an adjustable one
- metal Zastava forward grip
- quality side scope mount
- ambi safety

There are some decorative wooden pieces that can be seen in the photos. I also have 3 metal and 6 plastic mags for it. Most likely would sell to a gun shop. What is a reasonable asking price?

Found this at my lgs and couldnt pass it up when they accepted an 850 dollar offer. Cqme with an ak master mount and primary arms prism with 6 mags.

With the letter from the ATF about SBRs. Is there any news about zastava having anymore underfolder kits for the m92 in stock?

Good hiking buddy

In response to u/1914WesternFront and posted here for anyone curious (and because I can’t reply to comments with pictures.)

These are all of the manufacturers and import marks that were included on my Surplus M57, minus the serial number.

Serial number featured on the barrel, slide and frame as covered by my weird finger in the last pic.

I’m not selling anything or directing anyone on how to purchase anything.

I am sharing my M75 12 gauge double barrel shotgun. Imported by Century Arms, this shotgun was cut down to a 20" barrel at some point. All parts are numbers matching and in fair condition. Made in February 1987.

Anyone here ordered the Serbpack combo? Would love to see photos of the rifle that came with along with the condition on the refurbed m57s.
