Finally had a chance to get a new ZPAP M70 to the range yesterday. Thought there might be a problem with the trigger; This trigger has a pretty normal AK length pull but zero “wall”…. I mean zero. There’s no way to tell when the trigger will break and the rifle will fire.

I found the following video on YouTube and these guys describe my rifle’s trigger exactly at 6:30 min …


I guess this very light trigger feel with no wall is normal for the ZPAP M70 rifles?
Owners of a ZPAP M70, is your trigger like this?

Having once had a Romy SAR-1, it's damn near a match trigger compared to that. Lol

Same, was weird at first.

I put an ALG trigger in it.

It's just apples and oranges compared to a good AR triggers

Ugh. I guess this is normal. My other AK’s have triggers that are light but this is on another level. I wanted to use this rifle in a general purpose - home defense type role but with this trigger I’m not sure if that’s really appropriate.

+1 for ALG

I sent an email to Zastava USA asking about the trigger. Their response:

“The factory trigger should have even travel throughout and a clean break. It shouldn't have a perceivable wall as there will be no weight of pull difference between the start and finish of the triggers cycle like there would be in a 2-stage trigger.”

I’m really grateful they took the time to reply and explain how the standard M70 trigger should feel.

My trigger is the same and I love it,

+2 for ALG.
