Skitterfish 10 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I wanted another wood furniture AK and love the look of the RPK receiver on the O Pap so I finally ordered one online and it should be at my ffl next week. I know that the wood is probably going to require a little work but I'm curious to know if any of you good people have hands on experience with the rifle and know of any other positives or negatives I should know about, accuracy, etc. Any information would be appreciated.

SGL 530 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) The buzz on other forums is that this model is being discontinued, so you have good timing if you wanted one. Apparently these were built from M70's that Century got their hands on and they contracted Zastava to swap out the receivers with new ones. No more M70's left, no more O-PAPs coming in. At least that's the way I understand it. If anyone wants one of these, the best deal going is at FirearmsForSale (dot com) You can use the code "30-off" to get it for $544.94 with free shipping.

Skitterfish 10 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Im really glad I grabbed one when I did, the supplier I went through is now sold out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skitterfish 10 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I took possession of my O Pap today and all I can say is WOW! The build quality is on par or better than my Arsenal and fit and finish is much better than expected. I can also verify that these are remanufactured military rifles due to the fact that I have remnants of the military serial number on the left side of the front trunion. All in all I'm really happy with the rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atakacorp 147 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 PICS!!!! do you have a Serbian Crest on the stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skitterfish 10 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'll try to get some pics up after work and no crest on the stock, I actually think I like it more without the crest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skitterfish 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Again, I couldn't be happier with this rifle. Gave it a full cleaning and lube tonight and hope to shoot it in the next few days. I hope the partial original serial number comes through in the picture, I'm trying to upload from my phone.

Skitterfish 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 And for the record the rifle came with one tapco mag and one rib back mag. The steel mag appeared to have been run over by a tank. The mag body was so dented that I had to drive the follower out to disassemble it. Once I had the follower moving free I tried to load the mag and realized the feed lips had been crushed so close together that a round wouldn't fit between them. So about five minutes of plier work had the mag running perfect. Gotta love a field fixable design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
