ZAS ZPAP85 5.56 NATO Quad Rail Side Folding Rifle - 30 Round Capacity

The Zastava Arms ZPAP85 5.56 NATO quad rail side folding rifle brings AK-platform versatility to the modern tactical shooter. Built on a stamped steel receiver with a bulged trunnion for enhanced durability, this semi-auto rifle handles 5.56 NATO ammunition with a 30-round magazine capacity and delivers the ergonomic modularity serious shooters demand. The side-folding stock design makes it equally at home in a truck, a tighter shooting position, or close-quarters work—collapse it to 26 inches overall or extend it to a full 34 inches for your preferred sight picture and control.

The quad rail handguard gives you genuine accessory mounting flexibility without the weight penalty of a full free-float setup. You get factory-installed Magpul furniture—a proven pistol grip and RVG foregrip—that work right out of the box. The 16.5-inch barrel (pinned and welded) and Krinkov-style rear post sights preserve the AK's classic pointability while the integrated optics rail and rear Picatinny adapter let you layer modern glass or backup iron sights as your mission dictates. A hard nickel molly steel bolt carrier and corrosion-resistant internals mean this rifle will keep running in less-than-ideal conditions. The hinged top cover and bolt hold-open notch on the safety selector round out the user-friendly controls. At 8.3 pounds, it's light enough for a full shooting day but substantial enough to manage recoil cleanly.

Whether you're building a reliable 5.56 rifle for the range, a practical home-defense or tactical platform, or just want an AK that folds small and runs hard, the ZPAP85 bridges the gap between classic AK ergonomics and modern modular design. No guessing, no surprises—just a stamped-steel work rifle that respects your time and your ammunition.
