Yugo AK /Zastava ZPAP M70 WILL take AKM lower handguards!
All that is needed it the Zastava Ferrule and spacer for lower handguards, usually included with the wood furniture. If you have poly, you can order it online and use a file to shave of some metal on the lugs to fit it to the receiver.
AKM handguards are slightly shorter still, even with the spacer, but you can make a shim, I used cheap automotive hose. Overall took me about 45min of cutting hose and messing around with fitment and trying different things. I had to remove the metal heatshield from the handguards and I have no idea if the rubber hose will endure the heat. But I can cut off the tensioning taps on the heatshield and reinstall it if I wanted to. The cleaning rod can only be installed and removed with the handguard loosened.
All this was done with my a Gerber
I wanted to make my ZPAP look more like an AK103, but these Yugo AKs don't look right with a AK100 series muzzle brake so I got the mini brake which looks great with the beefier M70 sight post.
Parts:
-Mini Tantal tanker brake
-Bulgarian slab side steel reinforced mag (these fit too tight and need to be inserted multiple times until enough plastic get shaven off from the receiver)
-WBP (11) lower handguard
