always_an_eagle 165 Posted July 6, 2021 I have always wanted an AK rifle in my life. My friends have them and I have missed out when the good AKs were imported and could be picked up cheap (talking about the Norincos and Saigas). I know prices are slowly coming down and I figure to get one now. The question is which one to buy? I don’t want an American AK and I am looking into the Zastava M70 ZPAP and the WASR 10. Question is which one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
father-of-three 235 Posted July 6, 2021 Someone else can probably add more detail here, but I heard that some of the WASR10s originally were made for single stack magazines and were converted to double stack, sometimes making the magazines "wobble" a bit due to the adjustment.

silverado427 10,555 Posted July 6, 2021 Build a AR 47 upper, They run like a clock and have better accuracy. JMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 4,289 Posted July 6, 2021 Before the boat accident, I picked up a Saiga Sporting Rifle. The thing was butt ugly and the trigger was in the wrong place and was the worst trigger I ever felt! The Saiga is made in Izmash and after the conversion it was great! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryu 21 Posted July 6, 2021 zpap is not AKM pattern, and the wasr is. just matter of preference i suppose. price has come down a bit. classic has a paratrooper wasr for 899ish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is in the "original" Saiga position and it is still good for me. I also currently have a traditional stock on it (which also came with it) because the pistol grip was part of the adjustable stock. I didnt want to get the adjustable pinned because I plan to move back to Pennsylvania real real real soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,125 Posted July 7, 2021 Robski from AK Operators Union, who knows a thing or two about AK's, loves the Zastava ZPAP M70: I would urge you to watch a bunch of his videos before you purchase an AK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
always_an_eagle 165 Posted July 14, 2021 After careful consideration and some ADHD moments, I just bought a Hungarian FEG SA58M. Just bought it off of Gunbroker. Now to figure out what magazines to buy now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
