Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles AK 47

Unless you run into an actual one that is pre 89 or 92 93 ish IIRC.
The bfpu,s nowadays are mostly surplus kit guns with u.s. barrels that are not chrome lined.
Some are also u.s. stamped receivers.
The stocks are mostly used imported mil surp.

The BFPU line nowadays are made too look authenticly battlefeold distressed .

If you are gonna go this way.
I would look for a WBP fox based one with a WBP cl barrel new and WBP carrier/ bolt assembly ,trunnions and FCG all heated treated matched, built on a Morrisey or nodak spud receiver.

Alantic firearms used to build alot of BFPU variants.
Parts are scarce now due to C19 bullchitt.

If ya want a really nice platform and I have passed twice on it so far.
My 3rd email notification when I get it. I will drop the hammer on it fast.
They go outta stock in 2 to 3 hours.
Hesitated twice so far .
Wont be a third.
Was kinda waiting on Robski to run one thru his 5 k torture test.
It's nice that others do it to show the rest of us the deal.
Aint no way I'm tossing a new rifle of mine into a swamp hole for 3 days then haul it out, shake it off a little and doing a mag dump.
LOL!!!

Alantic firearms and various other online sites carry these.
The new Zastava M70 ZPAP with CL barrel( a 1st for zastava)
RPK 1.5 mm receiver
RPK trunnions
And decent black walnut furniture.
Dark blued finish.

These listed at 1st for 799 to 839
Went up to 879 to 899 2nd offering
Probably be in the 929 to 959 range this time.
Kick myself in the azz for not buying back in april.....

Zastava is now out from under Century arms and is based in Iowa
(of all places) as Zastava Usa.
The rifles are imported already 922r compliant from what I understand.
So that takes away Century from doing 922r work which they had issues QC wise in the past when they fugged with things.
The WASR 10 is still century imported IIRC.
But most of the QC issues with the wasr 10 were pre 2013 2015 days.
They had a fire at the Cugir plant and when they rebuilt they addresssed QC.
Probably something to do with the rebuild of the plant and better production and safety sense.
JMO....


This is new Zastava Arms USA imported M70 ZPAP.
They shoulda left off the "read owners manual" blurb on the receiver...
Or made it 1/5 th the size of what it is now, or put it on the left rear side of the receiver......
