It will probably be fine with the folding stock you mentioned. If you replace it with a traditional stock, just be aware of that possibility. Again, IF shooting it.

So this is the ZPAP, which has the redesigned stock that isn't so high.

Anyway, I am excited now, but this is one of the guns I'll leave stock. For now at least. I like tinkering and modifying stuff.

Yessir law abiding citizens are worried…the criminals and bangers not so much…upside down world…

Yes it is.

First time I've carried the Beretta. Speaking of modified... well you can't really tell but I've done quite a bit of work.

Edit: work that's been done

Beretta competition trigger group
Langdon Tactical 11lb hammer spring
Langdon Tactical trigger bar
Beretta competition cam block
Beretta solid metal guide rod
Beretta low profile decocker lever/conversion to decocker only.

I did all the work myself except the lever conversion. At the time I just couldn't get the retaining pin.

I've been afraid to do sights, as I've heard horror stories about them. Ideally, I'd like to put a red dot on it, but am probably just going to settle for a tritium front sight. I am not a fan of 3 dot sights, this is my only gun with them. Very, very accurate gun, hindered by the sights imo.

So I'm insane. I took an extra long lunch today to run to an LGS I'd nearby I just discovered and bought a new rifle just under the wire. I've never impulse bought a gun. I hemmed and hawed, the place makes their own AR's and FAL's. I looked at an AR in 6.5 grendel, but they had a really good deal on a Zastava AK-47 so I bought it. I can pick it up Friday. Woo-hoo. Mahogany fore end and grip. It's used, but unfired. The rep bought it, then two days later decided to trade it in towards something more expensive. Its got the skeletonized metal stock, which I'm not a huge fan of. I will replace it with the traditional stock.

You can always rebarrel an existing AR to shoot 6.5 Grendel.

Exactly, and uppers shouldn't be illegal.

Installed flip up sights on the Sig M400, lubed and prepped the Remington 887 nitro mag as I'm going to put it up for sale. Less than 50 rounds through it, probably less than 40. Probably 10 years since I last shot it. I bought it because I wanted a shotgun for some reason and even though I inherited one from my grandfather, my dad wanted to keep it. With him gone, I plan to restore the old one and don't need the 887. Grandpa's is a Montgomery Ward model 600, which is a rebranded Mossberg 500. Unique gun, hopefully I can get it in working condition. I'll snap a pic of it soon.

Ahh.... the ZPAP. Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.
I will say that I LOVE the Zastava, even though I got the N-PAP, so it isn't as nice as the Z. It shoots quite well, and ya just gotta love the bark of an AK.

I've never shot an AK actually. I've shot many different guns in calibers up to .45-70 and 500 S&W, but not an AK.

The only AK I have is a KP9 sbr, it’s total hoot to shoot suppressed.

It's nothing to it, it kicks little bit in this caliber, in5.45x39 feels exactly as AR recoil.
If yours comes with the little, slanted compensator and the skeletonized triangle stock, keep it that way, it's better for shooting and for holding the value IMO.
Also they use those receivers for the sniper and MG versions, they are much stronger by the trunnion.
I also think it has the normal size barrel, not pensile barrel as the Rumanian models, but I could be mistaking. It's a good AK model anyway, congrats on your find.

I have an Egyptian copy AK. It's very fun to shoot. It has minute of pie plate accuracy, and feeds everything I have put through it. The recoil is negligible since the rifle is pretty heavy.

Thanks for the input. Yes it has the skeletonized, non folding stock with the slanted barrel end. How is it better for shooting? Website says it has the bulged trunnion. Its got the normal barrel, chrome lined.

I was looking at the exact model on gun broker, and apparently I got a stupid good price for it.

I love me a compact bolt gun with iron sights.

I think the slant compensator is supposed to do a good job taming the negligible recoil. Probably would make a bigger difference in full auto. Maybe?
The bulged trunnion is what makes it a stronger weapon. That is why they are also used for sniper and MG receivers. I think.

Oh ohh here come the AR purists

My only complaint about about a 6.5 Grendel AR is the mags. I like my 6.5 Grendel AR. It’s a fun gun.

It's a type of simple compensator, gases are pushing down on the slanted part when exit the muzzle and keeping the barrel down, AK are known to jump up and aside when shooting full auto.
Of course yours's isn't select fire but this is the original Russian configuration, works fine and I wouldn't touch it. Older models only have thread protector on it.
If you want to fiddle with aftermarket parts, Google Primary Weapons Systems and go to Muzzle Devices.
The FSC Compensator- 47 is the only one I tried on AK 47 (7.62) that in rapid fire holds the muzzle on target, and I did try bunch of them.
AK 74 variants are coming with one barrel type flash suppressor/ compensator, that works just fine on the original barrel length.
On shorter lenht barrels for AK I highly recommend the "pig" type Noveske device, it creates back pressure and the weapon works more reliably.
Originally this type (slightly different) was developed in Factory 10 in Kazanluk, Bulgaria for the "Suchka"(female dog. in Russian), the shorter models of the AK family.
Everything else should be just as you're describing it, it's a nice gun, trust me, I'm originally Bulgarian...

This will be one of the guns I leave stock. How is the skeletonized stock vs the wood?

Mail came, shorty vertical foregrip for my Tavor came. Installing it now, will post a pic when it's done.

Update:

Foregrip installed, it's perfect. Still struggling to find an IWB holster for the Tavor.

After a bit of difficulty, I got out my grandfather's shotgun. Surprisingly good condition, bore, bolt are rust free. Safety was a little corroded and stuck, but with some WD-40 it loosened right up. Everything is in working order. It's a Montgomery Ward Westernfield 550a, which is a Mossberg 500 rebranded. It has an adjustable choke.
