[NRAAM 2023] Zastava Arms USA Launches ZPAP92 Rifle

While legislative bodies battle it out over pistol stabilizing braces, companies like Zastava Arms USA develop new SKUs to give customers what they want. During NRAAM 2023, Zastava USA showed us their new ZPAP92 Rifle. Traditionally, the M92 would come in a pistol configuration with a 10in barrel and no stock, this new rifle version includes a pinned extended flash hider bringing the barrel length to a rifle legal 16 inches, meaning – no need for an ATF Form 1 to turn this rifle into a short barrel rifle (unless you want to) or an ATF Form 4 to purchase a factory short barrel rifle.

The ZPAP92 is loaded with features that include a dimpled 1.5mm receiver,bulged trunnion, chrome lined cold hammer forged barrel, hinged top cover, krink-style rear sight, dual aperture front sight, and a bolt hold-open notch on the selector.

That magic barrel length number of 16 inches allows Zastava Arms USA to include a folding stock, now this is a folding stock adapter but don’t let the dissuade you away from this rifle. This folding stock has incredible fit and finish with a tight lock up in both deployed and folded configurations. This stock has virtually zero play and may be one of the best folding stocks I’ve felt for an AK pattern rifle.

The finish Zastava USA applied to this rifle certainly grabs attention. Arctic camo is not very popular and is not a finish I would’ve immediately thought of but damn does it look great. I don’t even mind the pinned extended flash hider. Being a compliance part to check a box for an arguably useless law, they chose a good-looking part that flows well with the rifle. I also appreciate the decision to pin an extended flash hider due to the ease of removal if the owner chooses to convert this rifle into a short barrel rifle. Once the paperwork clears, of course. Price and availability are TBD, but we are told, should be out in the next few months. Keep an eye out for the release by following Zastava Arms USA social media handles below:

Thanks to Ranko and the rest of the Zastava Arms USA team for taking the time to show us this exciting new rifle.
