Zastava Usa ZPAP92 AK Pistol Gold 7 62 X 39 10 Barrel 30 Rounds Serbian Red Wood
About this product
The Zastava USA ZPAP92 is an AK-pattern pistol built on Zastava's heavy-duty M92 receiver pattern, chambered in 7.62x39 and imported specifically for the U.S. market with a stabilizing brace-ready pistol configuration rather than a traditional AK stock. This listing is the gold-furniture variant with Serbian red wood handguards, a distinctive cosmetic option next to Zastava's standard black-furniture ZPAP92.
What makes the ZPAP92 different from other AK-pattern pistols?
Zastava builds the ZPAP92 around a thicker, 1.5mm dimpled receiver rather than the thinner stamped receivers found on many budget AK-pattern imports, paired with a bulged front trunnion for added strength around the barrel pin. The barrel is chrome-lined and cold hammer forged — the same barrel-making process used on many military-contract AK rifles — for long service life and corrosion resistance. It also includes a hinged top cover (rather than a simple lift-off cover), a krink-style rear sight, a dual-aperture front sight, and a bolt hold-open notch on the safety selector, a genuinely useful feature that isn't standard on every AK-pattern build.
What are the full specs?
Chambered in 7.62x39, the ZPAP92 in this configuration runs a 10-inch barrel, a 30-round magazine capacity, an overall length of about 19.3 inches, and a weight of roughly 6.6 pounds. The gold furniture and Serbian red wood handguards on this listing are a cosmetic variant of Zastava's standard ZPAP92 lineup, which is more commonly sold with black polymer or standard wood furniture — if the exact gold/red-wood combination is important to you, confirm current availability and photos with the seller, since finish options on imported AK-pattern firearms can shift between production runs.
As a pistol rather than a rifle, the ZPAP92 ships without a shoulder stock from the factory; adding a stock would reclassify the firearm under federal law, so any brace or accessory changes should be made with full awareness of current ATF rules on stabilizing braces.
Who is the ZPAP92 built for?
This pistol suits AK-pattern enthusiasts who want a genuinely well-built, heavy-receiver AK pistol rather than a budget stamped-receiver build, along with buyers who specifically want the compact pistol format for maneuverability or state-specific classification reasons. The 30-round standard capacity and 7.62x39 chambering make it a capable range and home-defense platform for shooters already comfortable with the AK manual of arms.
Because this is a firearm, it cannot ship to your home address. It transfers to a licensed FFL dealer near you, where you'll complete a background check and the required paperwork in person before taking possession. California buyers should be aware that AK-pattern pistols and their standard 30-round magazines raise significant compliance questions under California's assault weapons and magazine capacity laws — confirm current legal status with your FFL before ordering, and do not assume this configuration is compliant for California delivery without that confirmation.
The 7.62x39 cartridge remains one of the most affordable centerfire rifle rounds available, thanks largely to decades of mass production for AK-pattern rifles worldwide, which keeps range and practice ammunition costs down considerably compared to many other centerfire calibers. For an AK-pattern platform owner who plans to shoot regularly rather than keep the pistol as a safe queen, that ammunition cost advantage is a real, ongoing benefit beyond the upfront purchase price. Magazine compatibility follows the standard AK-pattern magazine well, so magazines from other quality AK-pattern manufacturers will generally interchange, giving you a wide pool of magazine options beyond what Zastava sells directly.
FFL transfer required
This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.
California buyers: handguns must be on the California roster for delivery to a California FFL, a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and DROS are handled at the dealer, and the 10-day waiting period applies. Out-of-state buyers receive the firearm through their own local FFL under their state's rules.
