single stack to double. zastava n pap

[fundy87]

I just picked up a zastava n pap rifle, I was so eager with the price that I didn't do the proper research. IT ONLY TAKES SINGLE STACK MAGS!!! Well, I'm frustrated, but I hear there is hope. I hear there is a conversion to make it accept double stack mags. Is anyone familiar with this procedure? Anyone done it before? Anyone have any idea on the cost?

I did a quick search for you and found a youtube video. Not sure if this is the route you were thinking or not..

Zastava PAP AK Variant Single Stack to Double Stack Conversion - YouTube

Yeah, I was aware of that vid, I'm not comfortable doing the work myself. I was hoping someone would sell their services

Why not just sell the rifle and buy what you want???

To who?

I thought the "new" ones were capable of using double stack magazines? I think the old one tat only used single stack has a bayonet lug and grenade sights whereas the new one that uses th double stack magazines does not have a bayonet stud nor the grenade sights.

This one has no bayonet lug, and no grenade sight

Have you tried a double stack then?

Ignore the title, I converted mine to double stack. it's a headache unelss you want to go through the effort of drilling out the front trunnion and re-riveting when finished. I didn't, but hindsight being what it is, I should have.

You know for some reason I've always liked the Zastava single stacks. If the thumbhole stocks weren't anti-lefterian, I'd probably have one for a range AK.

I feel your pain, I'm left handed too. The price I've been getting from folks to get this done is around 200-250, not including the new bolt.

What did the gun run roughly price wise. Maybe sell it & buy a standard AK? How bad is the stock for a lefty?

430, its a bit awkward to hold right, I haven't shot it yet, but I can tell its gonna do a number on the meat under the thumb
