Yugo M72B1 RPK Rifle 7.62x39 -Built by Arms of America *Original Zastava Military Surplus Kit Build*

A legendary Cold War support weapon, brought back to life — ready for your collection or range.

The M72B1 is a durable, battle-proven light machine gun with Yugoslav design touches that distinguish it from the Soviet RPK. Its thick stamped receiver, finned barrel, and grenade-launching capability reflect Yugoslavia’s philosophy of making more robust versions of Soviet arms. It remains a popular rifle on the collector’s market and among AK enthusiasts.

Built in Texas by Arms of America, this Yugo M72B1 RPK Rifle delivers heavy-duty firepower and authentic Cold War-era craftsmanship in a modern, US-compliant package. Based on original surplus Yugoslavian military M72B1 RPK parts kits from the Yugo Wars/Balkans Conflict, each rifle is professionally assembled using a new US-made 1.5mm M72 stamped receiver, 4150 nitrided heavy barrel, and original surplus military parts to ensure long-term durability.

Designed for sustained fire with its heavy RPK barrel, cooling fins, and thicker parts, the M72B1 is a rugged and reliable squad support rifle—perfect for collectors, AK enthusiasts, and those seeking a unique and historically rooted semi-auto platform.

Each rifle is fully 922r compliant, test-fired, and backed by our reputation for quality AK builds.
