Zastava Arms PAP M90 5.56 18.25″ Zhukov Folding Stock

Zastava Arms PAP M90 — 5.56×45mm NATO, 18.25" Barrel

Rugged AK roots. Modern 5.56 performance.

The Zastava PAP M90 adapts proven M70 (AK) operating principles into a 5.56×45mm semi-automatic sporting rifle that balances durability, controllability, and parts-commonality. It ships with an 18.25" barrel, a user-tunable gas system for reliable function across loads and environments, and accepts common 5.56/.223 AK-pattern magazines—making it a practical choice for range work, training, and field use.

Why It Stands Out

The PAP M90 brings AK-style reliability and simplicity to the 5.56 NATO world with an 18.25" barrel and a tunable gas system—giving shooters a forgiving, easy-to-maintain rifle that’s adaptable to modern optics and accessories while remaining true to the durability shooters expect from Zastava.
