The worst AK of 2024? Government contract M70AB2 *First shots* 

I still feel better about those over any I.O manufactured AK 😅

FYI… Casual Collector purchased new in the white front sights from Sarco I believe. 27.50 C&R price…

Century arms makes zastava copies? They couldn't just get aks made by zastava?

M79 is better than any american riffle im the combat condition.ask your soldiers who serviced in Bosnia and Kosovo.

So what I'm getting from this is that those rifles should have been 300 dollar rifles not 600 😅

So glad we were able to get these rifles they are all kinds of cool, and we were able to come away unharmed!

That gas port is Norinco sized

Blanks will not cause significant bore/throat/muzzle erosion. Certainly not a rate that you claim to be observing here. Ive actually never, ever seen a BFA rifle experience bore erosion significant enough to prevent servicing. At some point these rifles were fired with live ammunition or were built using barrels otherwise removed from fieldable service. Hope this helps.

they may be built on yugo M64 barrels, one of the differences from the M64 and M70 is the m64 has a slightly longer Front sight block, so if you build an m70 on an m64 barrel the front sight block will be set back a little too far like that I'm sure they were built w/ junk barrels since they knew the government was going to use just for weapons familiarization or firing blanks

Zastava is top tier AK vibe. Nowhere near the worst by any means, bruv.

The worst, cheapest, and most beautiful AK at the same time. Greetings from Serbia!!

Klaycoooo is the best pro-gun RU-vidr right now imo. ❤

At least it doesn't have the stupid "read owners manual before use" stamped into it.

I know I am not supposed to feel attached to these tools, but I am loving these type of weapons. Cool and beautiful at the same time. They have a soul.

americans should learn more about the company itself cos it has amazing history, very old company/1853 been bombed to the ground 3x ww1,ww2 and Nato bombing 1999', also amazing history in making quality firearms not jus small arms, good example of what i was talking Zastava Aks not seen as top tier but Zastava SKS is seen as the best also Zastava Mausers are considered the best/original tooling machines got from Paul Mauser himself, fun fact: one of zastava's engineer married mausers granddaughter, zastava and serbia had great relationship with Mauser even saving him from bankruptacy and also with Georg Luger, we were for firts 100 yrs of gun making influenced by German gun makers, also throughout our history we were mixed/influenced by the germans the most, it goes over 1000 yrs back, we serbs split and one group came to the balkans and one stayed in Germany/East Germany you know it as Prussia maybe,prussians are germanised slavs/serbs, for example we had prussian military doctrine/training mixed with French cos our Royal family went in most famous Military academy Saint-Cyr, fun fact: our King Peter was in first French Foreign Legion/first eschalon where only european royal families or aristocrats could join and was officer in Franco-Prussian war,in medievil times golden age for Serbia as a state/we were Empire then we had great german military leader Palman and his german knights serving as a personal guard to our Kings/Emperors, germans run our gold and silver mines which were the biggest in Europe, in our law book/constitution Saxons had privileged status, germans were biggest minority in Serbia up to end of ww2 when they were send back to Germany by commies for their colaboration with Nazis also cos of ww1 where we Serbs lost between 24-27% of total population, thats how if US lost 80 million,btw my first door neighbour is serbian-german/Holzleitner...sorry for this long rant but wanted to show you the genesis of our gun making and how its closely related to german way and not eastern european although its a mix of both, also very important thing Zastava AK is the only totally reversed engineered one, Yugoslavia and Tito was in bad relations with Stalins USSR/we were even on the verge of war in 47', Yugoslavia then had american jets/ 229 Republic F-84G Thunderjet fighter-bombers(/Sikorsky Helicopters/121 F-86E Sabres, we had Mig 21s then some domestic made, Yugoslavia was crazy country, fun fact: Yugo passeport was the only passeport in the world that could make you cross to west and east Berlin, also we as commie country could travel in the west even without visas where ppl in soviet union couldnt even get the passepport...

My first AK was an M70AB2 Compact when stock folded. Extra long Yugo handguards. Polished white bolt carrier shined like a star in the Serbian night sky Trigger slap on the stock was cold and hard and unforgiving on the cheek. Real effing men only. Launching a rubber grenade off the spigot muzzle attachment with the gas block sight shut-off gave me a freakin ejaculation I was hooked forever.

SKS at 520 yards a bit of a off day flinch 2 times and ammo variable ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uD47LGdFAMk.html

I got my M70 AB2 15 years ago. Has Century stamped on it, but it came with a certificate saying it's a Zastava (parts kit?) and the Bakelite grip, worn wood heat shield and parkerized finish. I put a Hogue setup on it. Looks new and has a chrome lined barrel. I put new tritium vials in for the night sights too. It's awesome.

I got 20 yugo surplus M70 barrels. Might be time to list on GunBroker

That’s the gun I built my entire personality around noooooo, it can’t failllll

I have a m70 and an m77.Out of the 30+ rifles I have I’m picking my Z’s over any of the others!!

Now im genuinely curious about the barrel on the black one. I wonder if anyone else accidentally received a short boi?

I always like Zastava's AK. It just unique in every way. Especially with that "slim" handguard.

Aye!!! Two of my favorite people. 🤩

I.C.C. just built my 1988 Izzy. Keith is a great gunsmith, he assembled it in ONE DAY. LOVE AK74s

These are not built by Century , the skinny goes 300 were built by TRA and the others by DCI…. There’s a thread on the files if you care about where they come from. Idk ICC was in Spring Branch my ol stomping grounds…. I got a clone I need to visit them about.

I hope people are not thinking it’s ALL Yugos or zastavas

Even if you have a shot barrel it would be rad to re-barrel it and make it into something even cooler.

Spitting image of the contract rifles at camp shelby Mississippi for use by opfor

that barrel has been cut

Did they use corrosive blanks?

Psa needs to make sub sonic ammo .

Klay can you send me a shirt please? I just pooped my pants by accident in the woods hunting and needed to use my shirt to wipe and now my third pin threads shirt is ruined and I need another to replace it! Diarrhea is not fun when you’re out by yourself!

I used to have an AB2 but mine was the old old version... I kiss her so Fuckin much What happened man... Why are these new ones so bad

original yugo barrels were not chrome lined either. they started that for the american market. i dont think any yugos were chrome lined just newer serbians for american market

How do you feel about the polish imports? I think it's under pioneer arms or something like that

insane that any modern surplus rifles like these even exist anymore, once in a lifetime sorta deal. Shame about so many of them being in such poor shape, but man count our lucky stars while we got em

I wonder if they were exempt from 922(r) as a government contract order

I know mossberg made barrels for ak during that time, also not chrome lined.

Is it possible that {being built to run blanks} that they cheated out adbought "seconds" or reject barrels to keep a little more money from the project?

Thanks for the show and humor, Enjoyed, My AB2 is serial AB2 C108,000 and 1986 on the trunnion, What range are your M70z? And this one I have is serialized under the receiver like your, I have several that are infoed on the side century and D C Enterprise.

My gas shutoff was stuck solid. Few seconds with a torch loosened it right up

These look only a bit worse than my first AK which was a Century AMD-65 which looked like it was put together by someone under the influence of several drugs lmao

If these are bad you should see the 240s and 249 ft irwin uses head space on them gone " bolt action 240 is a work out in a fire fight"

Zastava was Arcon favorite and it shows.

I remember that day I did my transfer at my FFL, everyone was asking this bad boy and jealous about it, I felt like I got the prettiest girl in town, lol

Did you say your gas cutoff is working? I know his is ceased like mine was.

The NMRG partner force I worked with had rifles that were basically identical to these. I remember the had a US builder mark on them, and I do not recall if they were select fire. They definitely saw live ammunition though.

I got lucky a few months ago I went to a pawn shop in the boonies and found a bunch of brown Bear subs for a really good price and I was able to scoop it all up.... !

I’ve never cared for Yugo or zastava yet I’m still watching lol .

Great video, thank you for showing is the cool stuff!

Ummm, what?!?! "commissioned in 2010"..."used to fire blanks for over 20 years"..math noth mathing bro, cause even my backwoods Maine educated brain sums up 14 yrs to get to 2024.... 🤔

Can you measure from the crown to the face of the bolt and see if it's actually 16"?

I have a m70 it always works every time never ever fails

I CAN TELL YOU WHERE DOSE GUNS COME FROM BUT YOU DONT DESERVE TO KNOW THE HISTORY WITH THIS NAME OF THE VIDEO .!. DURAK - BUDALE

What kind of subsonic ammunition were you using? I recently found some subsonic 7.62 by a company called “Atomic Ammunition” at a gun show down in Sam Marcos. Bought some but I haven’t tried it yet

Is the left gun even legal? It looks short. I feel sure that’s the legal thing you identified.

Smoking barrels is peak aesthetic

It's a ak it's gone fire even with abuse

These were training weapons not combat weapons big different. didn't think they look that bad. I have seen much worst and still be combat effective. The jungle is hard on you equipment even if you try to take care of your weapons

Too much fun

Nice! Thanks for sharing! My rifling looks really good. Im hoping to get it out next weekend for first shots, which I definitely plan on doing a video on.

Like a Ak63d 🤔🤔

Those barrels look a liiiiiiiitle shrt

A huge clue was mentioned in the beginning " These were parts kits assembled by Century Arms". The original monkeys with big hammers company.

Noiiice. Now I gotta go shoot my AK ❤😂

Where can someone find these type of surplus guns from the US government?

Rifle grenade test when?

Nice to see these two Yugos working correctly.

🇷🇸🇺🇲😉

Yeah buddy lets go very curious to see how these do wish id have grabbed one they seem cool

You are almost tip touching there for a second😅

The noise is Excellent 😁😁😁

Good video fellas, thanks

When I was still in active duty army, we went down to Oklahoma to train national guards who were about to deploy. We played opfor and were using Yugo aks with blanks. Each gun had their own wear and tear.

Awesome video man! Made me wait long enough. Epic.

For the AlGoreRhythym 💪 🤙 🇺🇲

How are the stocks how much wiggle

What are their 3 holes?

W00t! Shout out to the htown werewolf

Hahahahahaha, love the explosion! Great video!

🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

Let's go!!!!!! Been waiting all week

So you used the charging handle as a forward assist and the gun didn't blow up. But according to every one in the AR world if you have to assist the bolt home the gun will catastrophically fail.. I guess small arms review is full of

Awesome video.

Dead air makes an extra deep 14x1 LH insert for the Wolverine. Had to have one on my ak’s with long ass threads

Sgammo currently lists privi partisan sub sonic on their site. It's not cheap.

lol the bots fighting over who's first commenting

At $600+, you're halfway to a new ZPAP underfolder. What's the appeal here?

It hasn't even been 14 years after 2010, what do you mean shot for 20 years?

Meep

Comment

Where can one stay in the loop when cheap deals come up on rifles like these??

That’s weird last time I went to that range a few months ago they didn’t have steel in that bay just them little fake rubber ones

Those bolts rode so well!

M 70 ab during the war was very good what they are talking

Big like for the synthwave intro, comrade.

Remember. Gas shutoffs are mostly for firing rifle grenades .. they're both a bit of a hot mess .. not bad for the low price.. good truck gun . . And yes blanks do erode barrels with repeated blank firing usually at the chamber throat i wouldn't expect great long distance accuracy from these units but adequate for defensive use. Try some us made contractor polymer magazines

These are definitely cool 😎
