Overview
Built on Zastava’s proven and combat-tested M70 receiver design, the ZPAP M85 brings the durability of a milled-quality trunnion to a compact, pistol-length AK platform chambered in the widely available 5.56 NATO cartridge. The chrome-lined barrel and chamber support extended use and simplified maintenance, while the traditional Serbian walnut furniture gives it a classic look distinct from polymer-furniture AKs on the market.
