Just picked one up last weekend as my engagement present to myself. my girl got her ring and I got my 5.56 AK. I Love it. The recoil impulse feels like 22LR when you are used to the traditional 7.62x39 that my other AK’s are chambered in. Can’t recommend this rifle enough definitely a must buy in this current environment.
After 7 months owning one, mine hasn't had a fluke,ammo malfunction, not even a thought of a hiccup with 3k+ down the pipe. Very pleased! I purchased 5 OG mags from the start, can't speak to the polymer mags.
Upcoming Tuesday pickup of mine! Thanks to Atlantic. Got extra factory mags from Primary Arms for $16.99. A of A had WBP mags for $10.99 this weekend as well.
Word on the forums is that he's like Edgar Cayce and he channels the knowledge from the spirit mr Kalashnikov himself. If you watch closely you can see him go into a trace in the beginning of his videos.
Thanks Mishaco! I love seeing your views and history on things. My M90 is in the mail right now, can't wait to get it. I have been loving Zastava recently, heres hoping they import their M21, or maybe their old AKs in 8mm or .308!
@@SM-ii8pg me too just bought an adapter plate for the slant cut and black polymer stock and handguards and magpul pistol grip c93 muzzle break. Only thing left is side rail and red dot baby.
I have a M90... But it's a Mitchell arms import in 7.62×39 lol! Love the content @2a Edu and as always I love the content @Mishaco I send so many guys looking for ak knowledge in your direction.
Aitte, I finally got tired of waiting for the WBP, FB, and got my self a m90. I had heard a lot of good reviews and bad ones. Your videos and opinion was the final factor in my decision. Can’t wait for my 9 pound AK!!!
Thanks for the great informative content, you and Rob Ski are my goto for AK history and progressions ( you) and reliability and performance (Rob) keep up the great stuff, God bless and be safe!
@@frankgonzalez3822 so far I have ran it with .556 Beryl mags, and the newer production zastava polymer and steel mags. The zastava mags r available from their website. Beryl mags I got off of Atlantic firearms
Just obtained my rifle. It now comes with a 1 piece cleaning that mounts under the barrel. I purchased 6 steel Zastava mags (M85 Mag9875) from Atlantic and Zastava. I feel they work better. Typical Zastava quality.
Thanks for showing this gun. It's good to know there are alternatives in the same class as the Beryl in the US! Have you tested whether the Polish mags feed and fire properly in this rifle?
Only downside for me on this is the 5.56 .223 ammo prices. I'm currently sticking to my 7.62 for my "battle rifle". I have too many various ammo requirements as is LOL. But it is looking like a very nice gun.
They are great! In my opinion an improvement from the70. I went back to wood furniture and military black pistol grip. Tried to find a longated birdcage flash hider to get it back in its military factory configuration configuration. Enjoy it!
"Read Manual Before Use" really doesn't need to be on etched on the side of the receiver. Zastava's new stuff seems great, but a legal warning etched into the receiver in 14pt font is disgusting. I really hope they stop doing this in the future, cause they look gorgeous otherwise. I want one real bad but I can't abide the legal billboard.
I appreciate the videos as always I do have a couple questions and regards to this M90. I've had a challenging time finding actual accuracy videos or shooting videos reflecting the comparison between tlisten between this and possibly the AR15 If you have some knowledge of the accuracy accuracy potential of said rifle it would be great to Maybe do a video or a comparison between the different calibers of 556,554 and 762
Magpul furniture is so good and makes this gun so much nicer and modern looking Misha do you ever watch polenar tactical videos and their ak videos 🤪😜👍🇸🇮 Kalashnikov sr1 or 107
Ordered mine last week with K-var, better price than AF originally and I didn't want to worry about spamming F5. I am excited about the slightly longer barrel and the twist rate as well. Wish there were accessory lugs. Also have original furniture for it, except for a triangle folder I ordered. Seems I'll finally have a gun on which I can use my E-german sling. I have a couple extra Zrak scopes for M76 and I'll see if I can at least use the Zrak base/platform and sort something with the scope rings and a lpvo scope for accuracy testing. I've been able to adjust an SVD clamp to fit with a M76 rail, so I might be able to do this on the M90 as well, in which case, more fun with east block optics! Been wanting one for a while and I'm excited to try an AK in 5.56 to compliment my 5.45 guns.
I'm getting ready for my first AK. And Zastava 7.2-69 with the red furniture is to my liking . I just want one and hope it's a good choice? Hope you and crew had a great 4th. Thank you
Let me know if you can't find one around. I have a few squirreled around for folks as i figured there would be some demand. So far they ahve been moving quite well.
I picked up a m85 rifle from Atlantic (m13 industries conversion). So I held back from buying the m90. If they are still around in 2 weeks, it might happen. Haha thanks!
Are they Bosnian? Mine were listed as being German made. Absolutely no origin marks on them but they seem pretty good. Steel reinforced lugs and lips and BHO followers.
It looks nice but I'm still holding out for a semi-auto M21 variant. Besides the 1.5mm receiver the M90 has very little parts commonality with the M21. The M21 front sight/gas block is completely different from the M90, M92/M85 or M70 style. The M21 also has a different gas tube, handguard retainer, rear sight block with a hinged top cover, and a Galil style thumb safety lever. The M90 just doesn't scratch the military pattern collector itch that a M21 would in my opinion. I really wish Zastava would just bring in the M21 submachine gun version as a pistol. I don't understand why companies importing their firearms feel the need to make so many changes to the firearms for the US market. Just give us a semi auto version of the military pattern gun. Why is that so hard?
@Brian Hess Yeah but look at the price though. One kit is $1895 and the other $3850 and you still need to get the barrel and or receiver and build it etc. The M21 is cool and I would pay $1200 up to maybe $2000 for a complete one but it's not cool enough to merit a $2000+ price tag for me personally.
probably not. 55gr can shoot well in a 1:7. Those that actually shoot can back that up. I regularly shoot 55gr in my FN 1:7 AR. As long as the bullets are good quality and not blasting ammo, they shoot great.
So you will never clean your gas piston to the point where it's going to bind up the rifle from functioning? The gases that strike the piston are hot enough that it be will less carbon accumulation than you think - much of it will get burned off.
Idk I kinda like her how she comes out the box. The hogue rails would be nice for a flashlight - and she's something different and with no cleaning rod and a long 18' barrel too.
Everyone laughed at me when I bought my Bulgarian 106F while they were the only stamped arsenal rifles left. "no one" wanted a Nato AK because "but muh tapered cartridge". Makes me happy to see the interest in these new m90 full rifles.
I have one of the Century NP's. Lucked out and got a decent one, but definitely had to mess with the magwell to get consistent behavior out of that piece.
The last time I was this amped waiting for a AK was my Vepr 223 going on three years ago wich I initially orderd it in 545 then called the ffl to change my order & give me his last 223 left in inventory, no regrets at all the ammo selection alone makes it a great caliber. Q: for Mishaco or anyone that has one & knows..... Do you believe the Tapco Galil/Golani 556 30rd mag will function in the M90 ?? I bought a bunch years back, fitted three for my Vepr 223 and rest are in there sealed bags ??
@@sam_rules76 Ill go on record and say for 14.95$ ea they work 100% on my vepr. Also ive had two 20rd waffle type tapco x39 mags for amost 20years & combined 14-16k rds they work like day one. Alot of AK guys hate them though. €€€€€ IF YOUR TRYING to locate some Last week I checked GB & WIKIARMS they were available from a couple of vendors.
OK! You have just changed my mind!!! Questions; Is the bolt/bolt carrier chrome or bare metal? Any deforming at the tail of the carrier? What setting was the gas regulator on when on the range? Any changes needed when switching brands or from commercial to military, to the regulator? Between the bird cage and surger scoop muzzle brakes which performed better? Yes, I want one! I look forward to seeing more info on this rifle as the test progresses. Thank You, again!
I've never fired 5.45mm. I wonder how the recoil compares between this M90 and an AK-74. If they're about the same, then 5.56 makes perfect sense as a commercial replacement for its niche, given ammo costs and so forth.
I’ve had lots of failures to feed and eject with my new one. I think it could have been a gas issue as the selectable gas block wasn’t correctly pinned down. Still need to put a few hundred rounds through it before giving it a verdict.
We had no failures to feed, fire, or extract. I even tossed a couple boxes of Tula at it to really push it; ate it w/o issue. Mine came from Atlantic for what that's worth. Not sure if they do any QC themselves before shipping out?
Spoke with Atlantic the other day, and thought to ask them about returns & other issues with the M90PSs that they've sold? I was told the failure rate is very low, single digits give/take. So sounds like yours is an outlier and ZastavaUSA should definitely help you fix it up.
I like it looks nice and modern both thumbs up from me 👍👍 greetings from sunny and warm sLOVEnia europe 🇸🇮👍😜🤪 stay awesome stay healthy 👌 OK and thank you for your work so we are informed and entertain
i remember seeing a bwk-92 and i wanted to get it but all it came with was a 10rd mag and a 30rd mag...i was hoping there would be new mag compatibility for the 84s and bwk-92 LOL but i doubt it
the zastavas are probably gonna be the best way to keep the ak platform going. ive got ar side charger budget builds which are gonna make more sense for people...like a $300 bear creek arsenal upper and all your other budget stuff.
@@Juan_Stabone I can afford it .. was planning on buying a sam7sf this week anyway ... is it weird that K var would call / email someone saying they got a few in instead of listing them on the web site ? .. anyway I plan on buying it the am .. I had to deposit the money into my account
There was a reason that Magnum Research & IMI added a firing pin spring to the semi-atuo Galil imports back in the early '80s. I think maybe Zastava should look into doing something similar.
@@misha5670 since it looks like you are one of the few gun Tubers who answers folks in the comments, I had a question. I tend to nerd out on markings on AKs and all the components, like any half moons on Hungarian stuff, or whatever it may be, and was wondering if you have noticed any on the new Zastava M85s or M90s or any of them?? Video topic?? Love your stuff also Sir thanks!!
Great looking rifle. Does it beat up the brass pretty bad, or do you think they could be safely reloaded? With that floating firing pin I would avoid Federal primers.
I don’t understand running 556 in an AK. Looks like a 545 AK76 would be the way to go as it was developed for the modern AK platform . As far as 762 in an AR, I would say 300 BO would be the way to go (love my new blackout). But what do I know, I’m an ‘AR Guy’ 😆
I might get one of these. Love the aK look but unfortunately where I shoot no steel is allowed and most ak47 ammo is steel. However where I live there is plenty of 5.56 around that is brass so I might look into one of these after I purchase a glock 21
Need advices on what to buy for my first AK. I live in California so my choice is limited, however I do have a question regarding getting one in 7.62 or 5.56? Just shot a 5.56 ar and 223 for the first time five months ago. The recoil was a lot lighter than I had expected. What ammo type would be cheaper ? Trying to get something that I could shoot once every few months. Course not right now but maybe once the bullet prices dropped down in the next year or two.
Was Yugoslavia actively considering adopting 5.56 at the time of the M80 development, or were the 5.56 guns just for export like some in the Warsaw pact did with their 5.56 chambered AK's? I've heard it before, but I've never actually seen anything solid personally about them doing trials or what have you, just a citation less note on wikipedia.
Thanks for the review! …you didn’t mention which gas setting you used for the review. I saw somewhere else that break-in was 300 rounds on gas setting 3 I believe.
