This third party mag doesn't have that. Just so you know. Kind regards from Serbia, the land of Zastava firearms. 🙂

@@tj36b6 Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, we always strive towards improvement. Zastava M72 does have fins/ribs and the barrel itself is heavier in order for the shooter to actually be able to provide suppressive fire, before the gun barrel overheats. When first I saw the initial prototype of Zastava's Assault Rifle, the Zastava M64, I was blown away, as it looked more modern than an Israeli Galil, only this was in 1964 waaay before Galil LoL. But it was deemed too expensive and so we have the M70 and its derivatives. For what it's worth the latest iteration of Zastava's next gen Assault Rifle for the Serbian Army, is called Zastava M19 ( /watch?v=KCKtHXLwKgE ) and it's the most radical modernization departure from the original and since it's modular, it supports both 7,62x39 and 6,5x39 ammo with a barrel swap. So yeah, our engineers are always on the move, dynamic, trying to push the threshold on the original. Kind regards from Serbia.

@@johnburrows1179 Both are built well, they are very high quality. It really depends on you. The M70s with the wood are awesome, and there are many different versions of furniture you could get. Both do not take AKM pattern rifle/pistol accessories, so it is important to look for Yugo pattern accessories. Both have performed very well and accurately at the range. Holding up to abuse such as being thrown on the ground a few times or just sustained fire. Zero malfunctions ever in about 2000 rounds fired. I think I like my ZPAP92 Alpha (pistol version 10in barrel, drilled rear trunnion for easy brace addition, as well as top rail dust cover for easy optics) more because it is smaller and I have a side folding brace on it. Makes it easier to transport around etc. It is also so snug to shoot. But so is the M70. Honestly man either is bad ass and you cannot go wrong. I just ordered a new wood set for my M70 rifle, excited to work on it again. I am not sure if my next AK is going to be another rifle or pistol. Cannot go wrong with either. If you do purchase one, give the rifle a good inspection to ensure that it is properly built, just like you would any other firearm.

That's a beautiful M70. I've been considering picking one of these up for my collection. My first AKM was an NPAP that I still own. I feel that Zastava makes one of the best AKs for the price that you can get. I recommend that you pick up some of the 4th generation Magpul mags with the orange tab. The metal inserts make a huge difference. If you have about $60 to spare on a magazine then I really recommend the Bulgarian Arsenal waffle mags. They have a great lock up and probably the best feeding I've seen in an AK mag
