Zastava PAP Question.

[fireman]

Just ordered a Zastava PAP have heard a lot of good reviews as to fit finish accuracy, "Best AK for the price"
Now I find out that it has single stack. 10 round mag.
Can this be converted to a regular AK Mag?
Thanks Guys.

Yes, but you will have to replace parts (4 I believe) to make it 922r compliant.

Like what 4 parts?

Any of a range. A semi-automatic rifle cannot be loaded with a magazine of over 10 rounds and still have more than ten foreign-made parts, by that particular and senseless law.

The most common to replace is the trigger group (three parts, in an AK) and the gas piston.

Any, just make sure that the replacement parts are made in the US. I replaced the Stock, Forearm, Pistol Grip (which didn't exist before), and the Trigger Group. I replaced more than was necessary, but only because I wanted to.

Guys, we really shouldn't give out hard numbers.

The law says your "evil otherwise-non-importable rifle" can have no more than 10 foreign parts in it - when it gets to that point, then it magically becomes "US Made" and is no longer evil.

Here is an explanation of the 922r laws.

That is true (and why I added "I believe"), different options (like muzzle devices) have a different number of *counted* parts, and therefore will require a different number of replacement parts. Here is a great worksheet that can aid with 922r compliance when building an AK.
