What’s Included

- Archangel adjustable skeletonized buttstock, installed (marked ARCHANGEL / Made in U.S.A.)

The ZPAPM70 uses a stamped receiver with a bulged RPK-style front trunnion, delivering the robust M70 configuration. The smooth, un-ribbed top cover and bright in-the-white bolt carrier match the classic Zastava pattern, and matching serial numbers were observed on the receiver and bolt carrier.
Its 16.3 in cold hammer forged, chrome-lined barrel is threaded at the muzzle and arrives with a device installed. The rifle uses a 90-degree gas block and the proven long-stroke gas piston system chambered in 7.62x39, with a 30+1 capacity.
Factory iron sights include a standard open-ear front sight base and a tangent rear sight leaf graduated 1–10, paired with a manual safety lever marked SAFE and FIRE. These details reflect the current Zastava production imported into the U.S.
Aftermarket furniture enhances handling and adjustability: an Archangel adjustable, skeletonized buttstock provides length-of-pull tuning; Hogue overmolded polymer handguards offer a secure, heat-resistant grasp; and a TangoDown black polymer pistol grip with the TD logo completes the upgraded control set.
Import and origin markings are crisp: ZASTAVA ARMS USA DES PLAINES, IL and ZASTAVA ARMS MADE IN SERBIA. This example also notes the M70-style receiver configuration without magazine-well dimples.
