Zastava Has M85 in 300 BLK, Surplus Toks, and a M84 PKM Planned

Our SHOT Show 2026 visit with Zastava Arms includes the possible import of the legendary M84 PKM, surplus Yugoslav police pistols, and more.

Zastava M84 PKM

Introduced in 1984, the gun was heavily used in both the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s and globally. Zastava plans to import a semi-auto sporter version to the U.S. with ATF approval pending, while still maintaining its original aesthetics.

Known as “Ceca” after the famous (infamous?) Serbian singer, due to its distinctive sound, the M85 features a heavier, easily replaceable barrel than the Russian PKM. (Photos: Chris Eger/Guns.com)

Some 46 inches long, it weighs 19 pounds, and is chambered in 7.62x54R. Goofy GDC guy not included. 

Surplus Yugoslav M57 Police Pistols

Chambered in 7.62×25, this Cold War-era Yugo take on the Soviet era TT33 Tokarev has a slim design but allows for an extra round.

Some 400 of these, formerly issued to police units, have been imported and approved by ATF without the slide safety often seen in such guns, replaced instead with a trigger-mounted tabbed safety.

Yugo M57
These have been factory refurbished with the original accessories and will be offered for around $400.

M85 in .300 Blackout

We just love the ZPAP M85, a 5.56 NATO caliber Yugo pattern AK, in both its carbine and pistol variants, and have reviewed it in a few different flavors.

The big news from SHOT is that the M85 is coming in .300 BLK, including a gas system that has been tweaked to run better while suppressed.

Zastava is developing a 300 Blackout rifle on the ZPAP 85 platform that is billed as working well with the ZVUK suppressor.

More Surplus parts in more places

Zastava is importing AB2 and AB1 part kits and rifles, including trench art-marked M70s.

The guns that the company had on display were striking as battlefield relics and showed some of the interesting possibilities available to collectors.

Yugo AB 1 and 2 parts kits
The kits have seen a variety of hard use, sometimes including very authentic “battlefield pickup” finish and trench art.
Look at the ersatz optics rail on this one. 

Other items on the schedule for 2026 are a 16-inch barreled ZPAP M90 variant, something customers have been asking for.
