All,

 

Was wondering if anyone knows of any sources for single-stack mags for a PAP M70?? Looking to buy some.

 

Thanks :-)

I picked a new one up on fleabay a

Couple weeks ago... But haven't seen one since

I have four steel ones I'm willing to sell. I'll get some pix up later when I can.

If he doesn't want all 4 let me know I'm interested in a couple

I might have one around...Ill see if I can dig it out of the mess.

AndyB/Fishpaw,

 

I'm definitely interested in them!!!

PM'd

I have had trouble finding these (Short of paying $50 a piece from the former importer) since summer 2010 , when I bought two of these rifles.

 

Late 2010 it started hitting that single stack WaSR 10 magazines worked, and some company somewhere in the country that was selling PAPs online pretty good bought *like every available WASR 10 single stack mag* in the interwebs to put on their website. By the time Christmas time 2010 rolled around, and I found a place selling them, when I went to place my order the guy was like, "We had sold a few hundred and were asked for thousands more if we could get them, all sold out, no more sorry..." and it's been hard to find since then.

 

I'm not saying there is none anywhere, like I said I found them for $50 a piece for the junky factory mags on EAA's website, that just isnt' happening for me, they are waaaaay overpriced in that case.

I see the steel WASR single stacks often enough at shows, not sure what they go for.

Right when the PAP was getting a lot of sales/posts online in the NJ community/country community in early summer 2010, they were like $9 bucks online. Then ppl connected the dots and saw that the PAP was getting a LOT of popularity, the magazine was the achillies heel, and there was none to be had, the WASR 10 single stack mags got more expensive.

 

Hal I don't want to say this in a wierd way but I'm sure if you found some that were good looking (ie not terrible eastern european milsurp crud) and good prices and picked them up I would take them, if not me i would tell my Dad to (I bought him a PAP for his 60th in 2010 and was only able to find a few mags for him). I had to sell my PAP right after I bought it, for paying a huge vet bill for my pup at the time, but then I got more cash and bought him the PAP for his bday, so he still has it. if you see some lemme know bro.

Will do

 

I don't know if you go to PA shows much, but Ed's gun shop usually has them, and they do most shows in PA. I might pick up a few for myself as well when I see them, I've never tried the metal mags in a PAP.

bring your pap mag to the show with you and match it up with the wasr mags ,, some will match up perfect some will need work to fit .

Thats how i did it and i have 5 plus 4 pap mags .

Yeah roger that - actually I got two milsurp WASR 10 magazines for my PAP, one only holds 9 rounds.

 

Don't ask me who why what when where how didly idly like Ned Flanders, but 9 rounds - finito.

I thought you got a double stack rifle??

who me? Naw man I got two separate Zastava PAPs in summer 2010, early early and late late summer, both were the single stack PAP model. I don't think they had even started making the double stack PAPs til this year. Now they have double stack wood, double stack synthetic, single stack wood and single stack synthetic.

No I was talking about cutter

Ahh sorry brother I thought you meant me, no harm no foul bro.

Glenn,

 

So did I, but every double-stack I've tried (tapco) is too wide and won't fit.

How wide is too wide? Maybe your mag well is out of spec. The single stacks are probably a good 1/2" narrower or more maybe someone else or google can confirm. Take a

Pic of the well?

Glenn,

 

Will do, I'm starting to think it may be the tapco 10rd. mags I tried. After reading more about them they seem to have a reputation as being a little too wide. I've read threads from Wasr 10, Saiga, etc. owners all saying that the rear catch on the tapcos is too wide to fit in properly and require some sanding/dremeling to get a proper fit. I'll still take a pic and post it in a few though.

It's been a few minutes where's my pic! Lol

LOL, Sorry Glenn, had a family emergency yesterday. Will post one this evening for sure....Promise, LOL

It's the evening now lol
