Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Zastava AK-47 good?
Yes - these are military-spec firearms built at the same Serbian factory that supplies military contracts. The chrome-lined barrel and thicker receiver steel outperform many budget AKs.
Where can I buy Century Arms Zastava PAP M92 online?
Kansas Gunshop (kansas-gunshop.com) stocks these with same-day shipping from Wichita, KS. We're a licensed FFL dealer with 15+ years experience handling Zastava imports.
Does this come with a brace?
No - this ships as a pistol per current regulations. The rear trunnion accepts standard AKM pattern stocks/braces for those who wish to customize.
What magazines does it take?
Standard AK-47 7.62x39mm magazines. We include one 30-round steel magazine and recommend Bulgarian or Yugoslavian surplus for best fit.
Is the muzzle threaded?
Yes - 26x1.5mm LH threads under the slant brake. Many customers add a thread protector or suppressor adapter.
How's the recoil?
Manageable for the caliber - the pistol's weight helps, though the short barrel produces noticeable blast. A KNS piston can further reduce recoil.
What's the barrel length?
10" chrome-lined barrel with 1:9.45" twist rate - optimal for standard 7.62x39mm ammunition.
