Hello all in the AK forums. I've spent the last couple weeks going all over YouTube and the internet looking at various Zpap M85 threads on multiple forums and YouTube videos. I also want to say I'm a very long time lurker of the AK forums here on arfcom and don't post much because there's way more qualified people posting in here and I like to learn from them.
So mid December I picked up a Zpap M85 from my not so local dealer and immediately bought multiple kinds of mags for it. I will he testing 1 new type of mag per month from here on out to see everything compatible (tapco galil and OG galil mags next)
Here's my experience with each mag loaded and fired through two times each.
The factory steel mag works flawlessly when clean. Did not test it dirty.
FB Radom mags from Atlantic arms - flawlessly clean, flawlessly stuffed with snow/dirt combo
AC unity - Flawless clean and dirty again. For sub $15/ piece these rock! The BHO feature did not work but I didn't buy them for that, so null and void point to me.
Gripes about 90% of posts i see online about them - people review them before actually seeing if they work. I do not care if they look pretty and fit nicely, I care if they feed, which they do.
Accuracy - my sights need adjusting to the right slightly. We were shooting at 8 and 10 inch gongs from anywhere between 20-90 yards today. Had no problem hitting stuff, Accuracy is much better than the ATI Galeo I had early -mid 2020.
Here's some pictures. I will be modding this gun when parts show up as well.
