Got my new M70UF in the mail the other day. It came with some abysmally bad fake distressed battlefield pickup wood that immediately went in the trash. I dont know what those guys a Zastava USA are thinking sometimes. Anyway all is well now . Nice factory underfolder , correct military scope mount, Mitchell style gas block with bayonet lug. All is right.

That looks awesome! NEEED!
Don't throw the handguards away! I'll take them if you don't want them. |

I'm going to order one soon. I have the same flash hider as you do, OP, on my standard M70. It's a work of art. I wish Nodak was still around.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By nictra: pic of the other side? Interested in the "proper" scope rail. Wanna see if it's what I remember from the Mitchell imports I think it's raised and takes a new designed mount that fits the height better. I guess so you can fold it with the optic still attached. |

Its not a new designed rail. Its the same rail theyve been putting on these things for 40 years.

I really like it. At $800 or $900 though, not +$1,100
 Where did you get the new hand guards? |

How is your underfolding stock?
I’ve held three of these new zastava uf at three different dealers and all of them had excessive wobble/play up and down when locked open or closed. I’m talking like 1/4 to 1/2 inch and more movement. I been waiting since shot show 2023 for these to come out. Was very disappointed when i handled them. Unfortunately that was a deal breaker for me. I previously owned 4 underfolders, kassnar hungarians, norinco 56, and even a Mitchells Yugo way back when. All of them locked up nice and tight when opened or folded. |

I install underfolders as a service at my shop. I use a 16mm carbide end mill for the main trunnion bolt/pin which is the proper size for a very tight pin fit. That is NOT what Zastava uses even on their military guns. They use a 17mm hole. Ive built a crapload with military underfolder trunnions and theyre all the same. . Its loose. Not 1/4" loose but .5mm on either side.

I fondled one at a local shop $1249
 the stock was very tight to rotate. In the extended position it was pretty wobbly. When I tried to fold it up the butt plate portion wouldn’t fold out of the way to close. OP is correct about the “battlefield” handguards looked like my 3 year old tried to tear them up.

OP is correct about the “battlefield” handguards looked like my 3 year old tried to tear them up.It takes a while to get those to loosen up. Ive got a good sized stash of NOS Yugo underfolder stocks I use for customer guns and theyre all like that. The wobbliness is just the nature of Yugo underfolders because they make the lock holes in the receiver bigger to make it easier to open and latch closed. Even the original Milspec guns are like that. The sad thing about the handguards they come with is that the wood is actually new US made wood that has been "distressed" by some jackass with a knife on purpose. They paid someone to do that. .Zastava USA has some inferiority complex about their furniture. Its like where they take that beautiful Zastava wood on the M92's and stain it black for no good reason. Someone at that company needs to get their teeth kicked in. |

Nice M70 but you really need to do something about the P-grip. It detracts from the.M70's good looks .
