Zastava ZPAP M70 Underfolder update

[@Chewee394]

A cheese grater upper handguard, wooden lower handguard, and a folding stock on an ak just looks great

[@balkanshed]

@@Chewee394 I agree, especially that cheese grater handguard

[@Chewee394]

@@balkanshed is the pioneer arms underfolder still doing good? Thinking about getting that to add the cheese grater to.

[@balkanshed]

@@Chewee394 yes, it’s still going strong, to be honest, I only fired maybe couple of hundred of rounds since the last video, but either way, no issues.

Good tip about the tennis racket case!

[@balkanshed]

@@rabbitholereviews thank you for watching the video, tennis racket case has worked for me well.

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

Ive been using tennis racket bags for years. My 12 gauge bullpups my folding stock Ak and my folding stock vz58 all have their own.

[@balkanshed]

@@bigbadjohnpesek9894 it’s definitely effective and cheaper way of doing it. I wish I started using it sooner, it would have saved me money on all the gun cases I bought for this purpose but never use. I appreciate you watching the video.

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

@@balkanshed yes I've been trying to tell people about using them. Some listen some don't. And they are so much cheaper than a dedicated gun bag but serve the same purpose.

Nice bag!

Very cool brother great video!!

[@balkanshed]

@@WarriorTribeTactical thanks brother, I appreciate it. We still need to do some videos together, it would definitely be motivation to do more videos.

Take the stock mecanism apart and look at the locking lugs and mating holes in the rear teunion. Your probably going to find the reciever is not alined with the trunion holes or the locking lugs are to big. Some times you just need to smooth them down with a small file. You can't mess it up if you take it slow. Easy to do.

[@kamaseya]

I just picked up a M70B milled parts kit to build. It's going to be a nice project.

[@balkanshed]

@@kamaseya thanks for the info and for watching the video.

[@balkanshed]

@@kamaseya that’s should be fun project. Those M70 kits are getting scarce, used to see them all over the place, cheap too, but not anymore.

[@calebclark6739]

I’d like to get one, but the ammo drying up is holding off.

[@balkanshed]

@@calebclark6739 it got expensive too but you can still find it. SG ammo has it at reasonable price.

[@litsci4690]

Be sure you aren't putting any pressure against the STOCK while trying to push the lock button. Wiggle the STOCK until the button moves freely.

[@balkanshed]

It does the same regardless if there is pressure against the stock or not. Sometimes you can press it really easy and other times it won’t budge at all, almost like something is blocking it. Eventually I will get to it and take it apart to see what could be causing it.

[@litsci4690]

@@balkanshed WEIRD! I have the "add-on" folding stock, which works well and actually gives room for an optic mount.

[@balkanshed]

@@litsci4690 I am sure it’s isolated case, it happens to all manufacturers, every now and then one of the products might have some minor issues, I am not worried too much about it. I have an older Zastava NPAP underfolder, along with few other underfolders from other manufacturers, and in all of them button is easy to push.

[@LUVDOGS1954]

My Arsenal SAS M 7 has the same problem after 20+ years. I just leave the darn thing open and ready to go. Only fold for transport. Let us know if you get it loosened up and how you did it please. Thanks or the video. What nationality are you?

[@pt8946]

Did you have any vertical wobble when the stock was deployed?

[@balkanshed]

@@pt8946 no, no noticeable wobble at all.

[@pt8946]

​@balkanshed thanks, I'm new to the underfolder game, so not sure what's is acceptable vertical movement on the stock when deployed. Should it lock solid? should I expect any movement? It's an M70 just like yours. Thanks for the fast reply and great video! I'm getting a tenis racket carrier today too.

[@balkanshed]

@@pt8946 when it comes to underfolders, most of them have some up and down movement when fully open, and it usually gets worse with use. It’s usually not a lot, I would say about 1/16 of an inch. When it comes to side to side movement, they are usually tight and won’t move that way. That’s been at least my experience with them and I have owned probably dozen or so of them over the years. Tennis racket bag has worked great for me, I hope you like it.

[@pt8946]

Thank you again!

[@jake7077]

Have you shot any groups/what kind of accuracy are you getting out of this one?

[@balkanshed]

@@jake7077 with this underfolder i get 5 to 6 inches groups at 100 yards, with iron sight. But with my ZPAP that has wooden stock, it’s closer to 4 inches groups.

[@jake7077]

@@balkanshed that’s about what I am seeing with the igman ammo as well. As for the folder, it seems if I slam it home that latching mechanism closes all the way. And then when I open it, the button works better for me when I put a little pressure on the butt end of the stock away from me/towards the left side of the handguard

[@balkanshed]

@@jake7077 from my experience, that’s been AK standard with me, and I am ok with those results, it will probably only get worse as I get older and my vision goes down lol
