Zastava Arms ZPAP M77 .308 Win Snow Camo 19.7in 20rd
About this product
What is the Zastava Arms ZPAP M77? It's a semi-automatic AK-pattern rifle chambered in .308 Winchester that delivers exceptional reliability in harsh conditions thanks to its military-spec construction. Built on Zastava's proven design heritage with modern material upgrades, this rifle bridges the gap between traditional AK durability and modern precision cartridge performance.
What is the ZPAP M77 used for?
The ZPAP M77 excels as a medium-range defensive or hunting rifle where reliability matters more than sub-MOA accuracy. Its 19.7-inch chrome-lined barrel and 1:10 twist rate stabilize heavier .308 projectiles effectively out to 500 yards, while the snow camo Cerakote finish provides legitimate concealment in snowy environments that plain black finishes cannot match.
How does the ZPAP M77 compare to the Stevens 334?
The ZPAP M77 offers faster follow-up shots and higher magazine capacity than the bolt-action Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win, but sacrifices ultimate precision for that tactical advantage. Where the Stevens 334 delivers consistent 1.5 MOA groups from its 20-inch barrel, the ZPAP M77 typically achieves 2.5-3 MOA with quality ammunition – trading pinpoint accuracy for rapid engagement capability that matters in defensive scenarios.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 8.9 pounds unloaded and measures 41.2 inches overall length with its 19.7-inch barrel. The bulged 1.5mm receiver adds significant weight compared to standard 1mm AK receivers, but provides crucial reinforcement for .308 Winchester's higher pressure – this isn't a lightweight mountain rifle, but a purpose-built platform that prioritizes durability over portability.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you demand sub-MOA precision or compete in precision rifle matches where every fraction matters. The AK platform's inherent design limitations prevent the consistency needed for elite accuracy work, and the 8.9-pound weight makes it cumbersome for extended off-hand shooting compared to lighter alternatives like the Stevens 334 at 6.8 pounds.
What's in the box?
You receive one complete rifle, one 20-round steel magazine, and an owner's manual – no optics, sling, or cleaning kit included. The threaded barrel accepts standard AK-pattern muzzle devices (14x1LH thread), but you'll need to source your own suppressor adapter if running subsonic .308 loads through a suppressor like the Dead Air Nomad.
Is the ZPAP M77 worth it at $2009.99?
At $2009.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for shooters who need .308 Winchester performance in an ultra-reliable platform that won't fail when dirty or cold. Compared to custom-built .308 AK variants that start at $2500+ for similar specs, the ZPAP M77 offers military-grade construction at nearly $500 less – making it one of the most cost-effective ways to get into the large-frame AK platform.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AK furniture?
- Yes, it accepts standard Yugoslavian-pattern AK furniture, but requires specific handguard retainers for aftermarket options. The snow camo finish covers the entire receiver, so any replacement furniture will create a visible color mismatch unless refinished.
- Does it work with PMAGs or only steel magazines?
- It functions reliably with Zastava's proprietary steel magazines and most aftermarket .308 AK magazines, but Magpul PMAGs may require fitting. Test any non-Zastava magazine with at least 50 rounds of your preferred ammunition before relying on it for defensive use.
- How long does shipping take to FFL?
- Most orders ship within 3 business days via UPS or FedEx with 2-5 day transit time to your selected FFL. You must provide your FFL's contact information and current license before we can process the shipment – incomplete paperwork delays shipping by 2-3 additional business days.
- Can I return it if it has mechanical issues?
- Yes, we offer a 30-day return policy for mechanical defects verified by our armorers. The snow camo finish must be undamaged and the rifle unfired to qualify for return – once you've shot it, warranty claims go through Zastava's 1-year manufacturer warranty process directly.
