Zastava ZPAP M72 RPK | 7.62x39 | Bipod | 21" Rifle

Serbian Heavy Metal: The Zastava M72 RPK

The Zastava M72 (SKU: ZR72762W) is more than just an AK-pattern rifle; it is a semi-automatic version of the iconic Yugoslavian light machine gun. Manufactured by the world-renowned Zastava Arms factory in Kragujevac, Serbia, the M72 is engineered to handle the stresses of high-volume fire while providing a stable, accurate platform for the 7.62x39mm cartridge.

Heavy-Duty LMG Construction

What sets the M72 apart from a standard ZPAP M70 is its specialized "RPK" architecture. It features a 1.5mm thick receiver and the famous bulged trunnion, designed to prevent receiver flex and ensure longevity under harsh conditions. The finned heavy barrel is not just for looks—it provides significant heat dissipation and increased rigidity, leading to better accuracy over long strings of fire.

Integrated Stability and Ergonomics

The M72 comes standard with a folding, adjustable bipod mounted to the barrel, allowing for precision shots from the prone position. The rifle is outfitted with beautiful, traditional Balkan Beech wood furniture and the classic RPK "clubfoot" stock, designed to be held by the non-firing hand for added stability when shooting from a rested position.
