Mad love to you brother always enjoy your videos. Your content is awesome. You're one of the best creators on youtube. Wish you all the luck in the new year
I really like the ZPAP M70s. A friend just got one and it is a great gun. I got to shoot it and was really pleased. I also adjusted his windage for him. The adjustment was minor and the post stayed within reasonable distance from each tower ear. Very well put together firearm. I really like the M72 also.
One minor thing I noticed is that they moved the "read owners manual" from the side of the receiver to underneath by the mag well. Ive read people complaining about that wonder if they'll apply that to the m70s and the like from now on.
Thank Mishaco for showing us this video I wasn’t sure if I wanted this newer version of M72 or try to find parts kit try to have one built but now am sure this new is really good so your video help me decide 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thumbs up to Zastava! It'd be nice to have a drum magazine for the cool factor. IIRC, Zastava at SHOT show did say ATF plays a role in the timing, so it's not always on them. You have a pretty tree behind you, BTW.
I just saw this for sale at Atlantic, and the price is good. I bought my first m90 last year aniv edition, I didnt realize what a Dam Good gun they make. Put a 3x scope on it, total tac driver. Thanks for the vid Misha
Looks great especially for the price! Also update on the Sam 5- Arsenal accepted it for warranty work despite it being 3+ years old at this point. Will see how they fix the issue. Had only 500 rounds in and was showing excessive wear
I just got an M70 Underfolder. It doesn’t have the notch in the safety to manually lock the bolt back, unlike that M72 and the fixed stock M70s I’ve seen. I kinda like the more traditional look. It does have the extended ledge though.
Id definitely do a stock and pistol grip swap, if you could get the original handguards, that too. Looks great to me otherwise. Of course Im hocus pocus brokus getting a front end conversion on my zpap so I hope to god this isnt a limited run of m72's
I like the rear trunnion on yugos, don’t have to worry about banana gun and with rpk canted sights and things being bent are pretty noticeable. Zastava has been doing great.
only thing with the Zastava trunnion are the vertically stacked, aligned rivets + the top one so close to the spring loaded takedown pin hole. 99%+ of the time this is not a problem, but it is a slightly weaker design compared with the original RPK.
@@boffa-deez exactly, in realistic terms, it does not matter. Then again, a lot of guys put a uge amount of stock in 1.5mm receiver over 1.0mm...when's the last time you heard of the stamped section of a properly heat treated AKM receiver failing?
@ I’ve only ever had two AK pattern guns fail. One an Arsenal sam 7 because of its canted gas block, the other a PSA GF-5 the firing pin bored a hole through the front of the bolt on. Yes properly heat treated receivers last forever.
I was wondering what the story with these was, obviously we are past the ‘summer 2024’ release they fielded at Shot but I’ve seen these for sale on GB… I didn’t try and buy one because it seemed sketchy to me. I do hope the price stays below $1500, I wonder how CAI and Cugir will respond? I bet they’ll drop the aes10b all together because I don’t see Cugir allowing CAI to lower the price.
Oh never mind I see Atlantic has aes10b for ~$1500 now, I don’t mind proving myself wrong. I’d still rather pick up the Yugo, I’ve played with a few of the aes10bs and I’ve never been impressed.
@@daa3417 Ive seen the AES10b2 for $1343 plus shipping no tax to texas online. Was going to pull the trigger on that, but decided to order the zastava instead. Way better quality, in my opinion
@@markp4401They’re both RPKs but in my experience the build quality on the modern Romanian stuff is well inferior to Zastava. Between the two even if I had to pay a few hundred extra I’d go with the Zastava.
Serious question, and I'm torn between the two, however one of these days I'll have to decide which route to take, Zastava or a WBP? Pros and cons, I know I could look it up online for the answer but figured this would be simpler to ask here
Does the new Zastava M72 have interchangeable gastubes, pistons, and/or bolts with zastava M70s? Trying to see if i can argue that it's not parts-interchangeable because I live in a ban state. The FB Radom 762 S is legal here because the polish gas tube is not compatible with typical AKM pattern gas tubes
If it helps at all, the M72's gas tube is different from the M70 because they have different lengths of upper handguard. But yeah sorry, the internals are the same; they even use the same buttstocks and grips.
Is Zastava ever going to dump that bolt hold open safety!?!? I can’t stand them. Love the guns but notched safety must go for me. Hey thanks for the video!
I agree about WBP and Zastava…I think they will rule the land in 2025. Hope all is well in your world and appreciate the uploads. You helped me survive the first 4 months with our new born. A lot of late nights with Mishaco playing in the background 😂. 🇺🇸🗽
M76 and your right it looks weird but what gets me does the company have the ability to make m76 and sell them or do they not want to have it compete with their m77 now that I think about it do they make m91 anymore?
@@ClintonBeaver-dc4mj M76 was built on a milled receiver. I do not think Zastava really makes any milled receiver variant these days? Yes, M91 is still on offer, though has always been limited production.
@@Grizzlyman420 I'd love to see realworld, prooven, verified repeated isues with Zastavas. For over a decade rumours have floated around, but they seemed to be based on isolated examples; lemons if you wil. Say it with me "every company turns out a lemon from time to time". This includes *gasp* HK and Glock! lol.
If i'm being honest? iwas going to pass too; happy with my build M 72. But the fact this has the night sight and QD bipod are both very attractive to me. I am not sure now.
I notice you never fail to have on very dark tinted glasses, in every single video lol so I wanted to ask if it's not intruding too much. Is it a medical condition or just for the fact of concealing your eyes? Not going to lie, at first I thought that maybe you were blind but that was shortly ruled out haha! Don't take any of this offensively, I have disabilities myself and none of us are made perfect
To me it seems they built these m72s on standard m70 receivers that's why they have the grenade luncher top cover botton and just did the heavy barrels and marked them m72s . Also the m76 stock these come with seems better then the normal m72 stocks.
Zastava = Arsenal. They’re both military AKs. Obviously some of the features are different since they’re from different countries. Quality is more or less the same though.

I like the kit build stuff personally. But it is nice to see imports that are similar to original military. For those folks that don't build
yep, i was happy it was as close as it is.
Great video, I want one really bad dang Zastava keeps bringing the heat

You have some great information about AK platform. Thank you . I am looking forward to seeing your videos soon. What didn't you like about ASE-10B?
Didn't like about the AES10B? lol you are definitely new around here ;P
The regular AES10 was a wierd long AK, not an RPK.

Sweet i want a under folder if they come out with one hopefully we will see the M82 556 version
I have a M72 parts kit and I would buy this for one reason. Detachable Bi Pod !! Those have been unobtainium for decades.
The M-72 PM is my top choice of rifle from Zastava!
The stocks are part of the 922r compliance made in the US, and since they already had these for the previous M77 it makes sense
Plus if you think about it, its closer to that classic RPK clubfoot look compared with the standard M70B1 stock the M72B1 used.
Awesome I plan on buying one this year. Now if zastava would import the m21.
exactly
