The AK-47 is a versatile platform, and if you enjoy it for its many tactical applications, you might be interested in mounting accessories to your gun. Not all AK’s are conducive to the addition of lights, lasers, and optics, though. Fortunately, there’s the Zastava ZPAP M70 Extended Handguard Rifle, an AK-47 designed for tactical use that offers plenty of real estate for aftermarket accessories. If you want a fully tricked-out AK, you should take a closer look at this gun.
This is, of course, a semi-automatic rifle. The Zastava Arms AK-47 ZPAP M70 Extended M-Lok Handguard is designed based on the operating principle of the popular M70 automatic rifle.
For decades Zastava has been producing millions of these durable rifles and it is, in fact, the official weapon of many armies worldwide. This rifle is capable of functioning in a variety of environments and its rugged, reliable, no-nonsense features make it an excellent addition to your collection whether you’re a hunter, range shooter, or interested in tactical applications.
The model has a bevy of upgrades.
Perhaps its greatest features for customization include the fact that it comes pre-built with an Extended M-LOK Handguard and a Zastava Arms USA scope mount. Also included is a Magpul Zhukov folding stock, which is easy to adjust and designed for comfort. The rifle does have a threaded barrel and is threaded for 14×1 LH muzzle devices. Rifles ship with an M70 Sieve Flash Suppressor. The ZPAP M70 also has a 1.5mm bulged trunnion receiver and chrome-lined barrel for durability.
Customizations aren’t all this rifle offers, though. The comfortable, ergonomic Magpul MOE grip has storage space for whatever you need to tote along, from batteries and spare parts to cleaning supplies. A Magpul Zhukov stock comes standard as well and allows length of pull adjustment and folding for easier transport. The Zhukov also has a QD point, so you can add a sling quickly and simply.
Features of the rifle include:
- Extended handguard with M-LOK slots for the addition of lights, lasers, and any other aftermarket accessories you want.
- Picatinny rail over the receiver and atop the handguard for the addition of scopes, magnifiers, and other accessories.
- Folding Magpul stock so it can be made more compact for transport.
- Adjustable length of pull on stock so fit can be customized to the shooter’s needs.
- QD point for simple addition of a sling.
- Semi-automatic, gas-operated system for reliable cycling.
- Corrosion-resistant hard nickel molly steel bolt carrier.
- Bolt hold open notch on selector.
- Zastava Arms USA Scope Mount, so the gun’s ready to go if you choose to add an optic.
- Adjustable front & rear iron sights so the gun can be used right out of the box.
