Good reliable ak, difficult to clean straight out of the box but runs like a charm. Get the hi-cap version if you can in your state.

Great gun at a very good price. I really like the thumbhole stock. Fit and finish is just like any other AK. The rifle is very solid with no loose or shaky parts. The fact that it had a 10 round mag didn't bother me at all and actually appealed to be because it makes me shoot less rounds. The only thing i didnt like was the scope rail, its useless because the cover has a lot of movement and no way to tighten it down. A lot of people are complaining that mags are hard to come by. Took me 15 min. to find them online. You can even use single stack mags from WASR. Just got a few delivered and they work fine although I prefer plastic mags. Overall It's my favorite AK to shoot and i would buy one more if they were still available. If anyone looking for mags here is a link to a site that has them in stock. Mitch was vey helpful and I even got a free mag. http://www.jesticearms.com/Romanian-Ak-10rd-Mag.htm

Gun shipped with no problem! Very greasy, had to clean before shooting it. Came with two clips. First time shooting it, I had no feed issues at all. Pretty accurate at 75 yards, anything past that is up to your skill level of shooting. Would highly recommend the gun...,

Great weapon, great price, great service getting ready to use Bud's again. Put 400 rds thru so far no problems with weapon. Had trouble chambering at first. Problem was my improper incomplete insertion of mag, after mental adjustment and correction of mag technique great range day. Accurate out of the box, be prepared for heavy cleaning upon receipt. Thanks guys!

What an amazing firearm! It needed almost no breaking in and was extremely accurate from the get go. I had considered modifying it to accept hi cap magazines but after shooting at the range I do not want to change a thing. The fit and finish are great. Be prepared to spend a few hours on initial cleaning though. Everyone who borrowed it at the range responded the same way, "I have to get one of these!"

This a soild rifle. I give it 5 stars for the way in comes ( you wont be able to do ANY modifcations to it without serious issues through every step. 1st I orderd a butt stock, pistol grip, rails, muzzle brake, magizines, the whole 9 yards to deck it out and aside from the hand rails I am gonna have to get a gun smith to weld screw and bolt on every single little piece when I bought mine buds was saling it for high 200's I think 279 to my FFL. Since then I have spend over 250 dollars on parts and opitcs. that brings my total to around 530 and with the gun smith coming up I am expenting another 150. so for a cheap solid well built rifle and parts Im getting a lot I am happy with it.

great great great ak. i live in florida, a very gun liberal state to date, i could of gone with a wasr 10 for high cap mags but quality is far more important to me then quantity. this gun is rock solid. deadly accurate and extremely well built. come gooped up is cosmoline so the first hour of ownership is spent getting her naked and stripping her down until she lets you shoot a few down range but when it does it so worth it. no ftf or fte o nun thath. hitting the bulls eye at 50 yds is easy from the standing position. easy to clean and the trigger is light . excellent weapon... the cons to this fine piece however, would be the lack of accesories for it. the butstock is hard to change given the angle cut receiver, the fore grip is shorter then a standard ak, 10 round mags are hard to come by for a fair price, and the double stack conversion is difficult and u can damage this fine ak if you get to happy with the dremel. i am keeping her the way she came, i get laughed at cuz she only holds ten but i get to shoot longer cuz im not dumping 30 bullets down range evry reload. i love this gun and with the right scope on it, makes it look almost like a dragunov sniper. last thing, the rails on the dust cover move around so holding zero can be difficult and this doesnt have side rails like a saiga to add a scope mount. the last last thing is that the barrel is not threaded... for what the gun is, its fantastic and solid and accurate and ggod looking, but if you wanna to deck out an ak and go all out, u will put in more then the guns worth pretty fast, howerver, this gun would be a solid, dependable platform. for someone like me who can appriciate a gun for what it is this is a 5 star gun, but for someone tryin to go tactical and customize, this things a 2. almost any modification to this gun requires cutting or removing or adding or rivets etc etc.

This is a great firearm for the price. Came with two 10 round clips, well oiled and great looking. This gun is also well made. Shipment was fast and easy..Buds Gunshop is the BEST!! Shot a hundred rounds with no jams and this thing was dead on straight out the box. Very happy with the product!

Great service and delivery time. great looking rifle. It was covered with oil to preserve it better while in storage. Used a gun cleaner spray wiped it down and it was good to go. Bought a couple of hundred rounds to test how it sings. So far I'm glad I got it. Will follow up after I shoot it.

I love this rifle. I took it out this past weekend to break it in and had a huge smile on my face after the first shot. It is very accurate right out of the box. It is extremely well made and the price is unbelievable for the quality you get. The one drawback, if you can call it that, is the single stack magazine. I don't have a problem with it, but finding extra's is near impossible. I think i found the last two in existence, but I expect there will be more available in time. It is a steal at this price and I am very happy. Thanks Buds !!!!

Now I'm not one to write reviews on things I've bought, but I had to make an exception for this rifle. When It arrived at my local FFL dealer, it was completely full of and covered in grease. That night I went home and looked up a guide on Youtube on how to DCOA it. Two hours later, the rifle was finally clean and free of excessive grease and oil. The next day I went to the range and tried it out. 200 rounds later, I was in love. The rifle fed all 200 rounds of some crappy, steel cased garbage without a single jam or malfunction of any kind. Although it was hitting a little low and to the left, I'm not really that upset about it, because I plan on adding optics to it thanks to the built in picatinny rail on top. I'm not a big fan of the composite stocks on the newer rifles, but I think this rifle may change my mind about that. The stock is very comfortable to handle, yet solid and easy to clean. I am downright amazed at the quality of the rifle, when compared to the price. The best thing about this rifle is that it's legal in my homestate of New Jersey, who are complete sticklers when it comes to people trying to excersise their 2nd Amendement. There's no flash hider or bayonet lug, it has a static, non-collapsible stock, a barrell thats more than 16 inches long (16.3 in), an american made trigger system, and can only take 10 round mags. Long story short, if you're thinking about getting this rifle and you live in a state that likes to put alot of rules on what you can and can't have in a rifle, especially an AK, this is the gun for you. Cheap price with great quality. If you live in a state more open to firearms, go with something a lil' more ballsy. Just don't buy this and then complain on here about what it doesn't have when all the specs are listed in the item description, and what isn't, a reviewer deffinately has posted on.

Received this weapon in one week. It is exactly what I expected. I have purchased 14 pastols and rifles from Buds in the last 16 months. I own eight assult rifles, 8 other rifles and shotguns, and 12 pistols. I know firearms and I shop prices. I recommend Buds to everyone I talk to about firearms. There will always be stumbles when you are ordering online. The difference is how those problems are handled. Buds has always made things right with me and in turn I will continue to be a Buds customer.

Awesome rifle! If I could have given it 10 stars I would have! Fast and friendly service from buds! Was my first purchase from buds! Will not be my last! This gun shoots so smooth! Couldn't ask for a better version of the ak!

just got to the range with this gun and i love it. shot @ 50 yards right out hit the target with all the first 2 magazines. a little low and to the left but might have just been me. next is a scope to be added.

I purchased my EAA Zastava PAP using Buds layaway plan. As always the transaction went great. Once shipped, I received my rifle within 3 business days. This is now my third purchase with Buds and I will definately use them again. As for the rifle, it arrived packaged in cosmolene. It was easy to clean by spraying the weapon down with mineral spirits. The rifle is really solid and well built. I understood prior to making the purchase that the rifle came with single stack mags and is pricy to say the least for those interested in converting it to look like an original AK. Overall, for the price, the EAA Zastava PAP is a great buy.

Contrary to what I had heard buds shipping was very fast. I recieved emails throuought the entire process. Very pleased with the service with my first buds purchase. The pap came all in one piece with no scratches or defects. Also for people concerned about the 10rd mags there is hope! It is possible to convert If you have the reciever milled out, buy an military style Hungarian bolt from Alex and smooth the feed ram a little. The gun worked flawlessly as it came but with a little time patience and a gunsmith the conversion can and will work. And I had all of this done by a licensed gunsmith. I do not reccomend attempting it yourself

Had a slight hick-up first time out...was using WASR10 surplus mags and was getting FTF issues...next time out just used plastic mags that came with the rifle and she ran smooth. VERY accurate rifle...wish it had a threaded barrel...but I will resolve that.

This thing is a beast. It eats anything you feed it and is scary accurate right out of the box. The only downfall is the 10rd mag, but you can get the rifle machined to hold a 20 rd for about $110. I have buddies who have spent 2X more on an AK and they wish they would have bought this EAA. It's fun shoot and tears through cheap TulAmmo (you can get it for $4.50 a box at Wal-Mart). Buds was great, but that's become a given.

I read a lot of reviews before buying this rifle. I received the rifle yesterday. It was packaged well, but loaded with cosmoline / grease. It took me about 1 hour to clean it up. The rifle is heavy, looks great and now has a sniper scope on it. I have not fired it yet due to a foot injury. I will return for another review after firing the rifle. Based on what I see so far, this is a very nice looking rifle. It certainly looks better than the traditional AK-47. I also received two magazines.The only down side at this juncture is the heft, but not too bad.

I would like to start off by saying that I really wish people would learn how to properly review a product. Don't screw up a product rating simply because you are illiterate or didn't take the time to read up on the weapon you were purchasing. Deducting stars because it only holds 10 rounds or doesn't come with this, that or the other is idiocy. If the product description made any claim about it coming with certain accessories or having capabilities it doesn't have, it would be a different story. On to the weapon. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised with this rifle. I've never been big on AKs, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add another caliber to my collection for $370. This rifle is very nicely put together and it's great for people like me who have to suffer under the oppressive yoke of NJ law. This weapon is made to be compliant. That's why it only takes 10 rounds, that's why it doesn't have a flash suppressor or a bayonet lug. The composite stock on this rifle is outstanding. I have never been a fan of thumbhole stocks, but this one is extremely well made and is extremely comfortable. All in all, if you are looking for a well made AK that will be compliant in some of the tougher states, like NJ, this rifle is for you. If you are looking for a standard AK with a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, 30 round mags or additional accessories, you should probably do more research and actually learn about the different rifles available before compulsively clicking "buy" and coming on here to rant about your bad decision.
