Design and Key Features

This pistol carries the hallmarks of Zastava Arms production from a Yugoslavia arsenal: solid construction, durable bluing on receiver and barrel, and minimal wear on the stock and fore end. The 10 in. barrel shortens overall length for maneuverability but retains enough dwell for reliable cycling of the 7.62×39 round.

Barrel and Krinkov Compensator

The Krinkov style compensator is notable on this pistol. On a short 10 in. barrel it helps manage muzzle rise and perceived recoil, improving follow-up shot speed in rapid engagements. Expect increased muzzle blast and wider flash signature versus a longer-barrel rifle, but improved control compared to an uncompensated short barrel.

Sights, Stock, and Accessory Options

Sights are reported in very good condition, and the wood stock and fore end show minimal marks. A rail on the butt stock allows for brace installation if legal and desired, and a sling is included to aid retention and carry. These features add versatility for range work, patrol-style training, or display in a collection focused on historically produced firearms.

Caliber and Practical Applications

7.62×39 remains a widely available, effective intermediate cartridge. It offers good penetration and terminal performance out to moderate distances, and ammo availability keeps it practical for practice and training. In a short-barrel platform like this, expect reduced velocity but retain the cartridge’s characteristic terminal energy at common engagement ranges.
