The Century Arms PAP M85 is a compact AK-pattern semi-automatic pistol based on the Serbian Zastava M85 platform, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. Designed around the proven Kalashnikov long-stroke gas system, it features a stamped steel receiver, short 10" barrel & Krinkov-style muzzle device, giving it a compact yet robust profile. A defining characteristic of the M85 NP variant is its ability to accept standard AR-15 magazines, combining AK durability with widely available magazine compatibility. The platform typically includes adjustable iron sights, wood or polymer furniture & a side rail or optics-ready configuration depending on the model, making it suitable for range use, compact defensive setups & AK enthusiasts seeking a 5.56 platform. The PAP M85 is widely regarded for its rugged reliability & consistent performance, inheriting the durability of the Kalashnikov system while adapting to modern ammunition & magazine standards. Its gas-operated rotating bolt system cycles reliably across a wide range of loads, while the thicker 1.5mm receiver construction enhances longevity & structural strength. Century Arms, in partnership with Zastava Arms, has built a reputation for delivering robust imported AK platforms & the M85 stands out as a dependable, compact firearm offering strong reliability, manageable recoil, & practical effectiveness in a unique AK/AR hybrid configuration.
