considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
Does anyone own one of these? I'm considering picking one up as my first AK from J&G. I have found very little reviews on them, but from what i did find, they seemed pretty solid. Any opinions? Thank

Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
If they are built anything like the Yugo SKS then they should be good. It's hard to do a truly bad job on a AK47.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

There was one, not a Bulgarian, that I held years back, it had a milled receiver, built like a brick shit house, is that the one?

Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
This would have been in the 90's sometime, well before the Romanian AK's came on the market. I already owned the SLR95 Bulgarian so that wasn't it, and I don't think the Chinese made a milled receiver AK. It had light wood, but not the piss yellow of the Maddi, before anyone suggests it, this was a new AK, not a early Soviet AK sneaked home from someplace, my friends gunshop had it.

The Yugo with the milled reciever is a M70 and they are really nice. Built well. Used to be priced around $700 not sure what they are now.

Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
I have one and its a great rifle. Haven't had one bit of trouble with it, and its a blast to shoot a couple hundred through it per range visit.

Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
I was seeing today, albeit sold out, that the WASR was currently priced at 999.00 at Classic?:shock:
Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
I saw some Aks and Ars today. 1500 for the aks, 2500 for the ARs.
These were not flying off the shelves....yet.

Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
I have one too. They are great guns ( l love the forward grip) take all the AK mags and shoots pretty accurately. I think the price has gone up - naturally, but they are well made and might be the last of cheapie AKs. And the folding wire stock is not as bad to use as I thought. All around good gun.pacl90 wrote:I went with the AMD-65 from J&G :thumbs up: looks like the most fun you can have with your pants on

Re: considering a Yugo Zastava AKM-47 NPAP
Me too, I traded for a WASR 10/63 a few months ago thinking I had gotten an "even" deal. I had $500 in my trade. Hindsight being better than it normally is, it looks like I came out pretty good. One things for sure, everyone and their daddy is stocking up right now and prices have gone through the roof...pacolo90 wrote:i got at 500 before the craze

A full G for a WASR? If That's the case a Bulgarian SLR95 should be worth 5, maybe 6 large.
