Mag release on an Zastava AK47?
A few years ago I bought an Zastava ZPAPm70. I asked about it here was told by many I have a very fine rifle.
The mag release pinches my forefinger and drew blood once! I'm no gunsmith, is there an aftermarket release that I can easily install?
Or any other suggestions?

I don't understand the positioning of your finger to do this. Mag release is operated with your thumb. Please elaborate. I average about 5,000 rounds/year on my AK's. None of them bite including the ZPaps.

Yeah, I'm stupid. Only fired it once. Got it out to give to my eldest son, with the 1k rounds I bought.
Nevermind Roll Eyes I'm losing it so I don't shoot anymore.
