Zastava Pap M92 vs Arsenal Sam7k

[tshaider]

Hey guys,
Does anyone know the main differences between M92 and Sam7k? Pros and Cons? Which one is superior? Which one should I consider buying? and where do I buy one? I will appreciate any helpful advice. Thanks in advance!

One is milled and the other is stamped. One is new & one is surplus.

they both are NEW

The Arsenal is a milled receiver, Bulgarian, has better fit and tolerances, and comes with a thumb-safety (yes. it actuates the regular safety on the right-side of the receiver; a really cool feature). If you get it from certain sources, you can avoid Arsenal's crappy proprietary bullet-button (see RifleGear - they use an Assault Planet BB). Scope mount included on the side of the receiver.

The Pap-smear is stamped, no scope mount, regular safety, comes with specially canted sights that allow you to shoot while running away from Interpol (because your torso is at an angle as you run), and has a more traditional AK pistol lay-out. Sights on both are somewhat of a misnomer in using them, so I guess the canted sights can be forgiven. The PAP is slightly better made than a Draco, but not by much.

With the price current difference between the two, I would go with the Arsenal. The PAP should only be around $450 max - overpriced in my opinion. The Arsenals were going for about $1200 pre-panic so it's a little closer to pre-panic pricing than the Pappy.

I realized that, my computer froze and I didn't think I actually posted.

I would take the milled Arsenal over the PAP any day.

I own a CAI/Romarms Draco and have played with the Zastava PAP M92 PV & the Arsenal SAM-7K.

IMO...
In regards to quality and fit & finish:

SAM-7K > PAP M92 PV > Draco

Also...
The Zastava PAP M92 PV does not have a chrome lined barrel, while the Arsenal SAM-7K does.

Arsenal all the way!

Arsenal is probably a better pistol, but when pap m92 first came out, it was like only $599 or sth, and a local shop even allowed me to hand pick.

Guys, you have been very helpful. Thanks a bunch for the info and your advice. I appreciate it.

my vote is the arsenal, I have one for sale rightnow

At $599, I'd go for the PAP. At $899, I'd pay the extra $500 and grab the Arsenal.

The PAP was a deal at $600- remember the old Yuko M92 Krinkov parts ksits that used to sell for $800+? The PAP pistol is exactly that- a Yugo Krinkov without the underfolder stock.

The side rail utility is debatable on these pistols- optics tend to sit kind of high- I'd rather get one of those top cover systems that integrate with the spring retainer.
