Opinion - The ZPAP M85 is a Pistol configuration of the Military Yugoslavian M85. The previous version of this pistol was imported by Century Arms and predominantly featured an AR-15 style magazine well attached to the gun permanently in order to take AR mags because M85 mags weren't very commonly found. However, now that ZUSA is doing the importing, they also import the mags and have chosen to use the standard M85 magazine system.

This is the only current 5.56 AK Pistol currently imported. They haven't been proven out definitely, but all of the previous Serbian M85 imports have not seen any glaring issues or things to be concerned about. It's also pre drilled in the back for a sling swivel, OR a 1913 rail piece for putting on a brace.

This doesn't take AK47, AKM, AK74, AK74M, Galil or Chinese AK furniture. It's Yugoslav M85/M92 Spec, make sure whatever parts you buy are YUGO compatible.

Buy one.
