Yugoslavian M72B1 RPK Custom Kit Build

The M72B1 is a Yugoslavian-manufactured variant of the Soviet RPK light machine gun. Designed in the 1970s, the M72B1 was developed by Zastava Arms in Yugoslavia as a licensed and modified version of the Soviet RPK as a replacement for the M53 (a local MG42 clone) for use in squad automatic weapon roles within the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA).

• Key Differences from the Soviet RPK
  • Receiver: The M72B1 uses a thicker, milled or heavier stamped receiver.
  • Barrel: It features a heavier, non-removable barrel with cooling fins near the front, helping with sustained fire.
  • Bipod: Equipped with a folding bipod, similar to the RPK.
  • Caliber: Chambered in 7.62×39mm, compatible with standard AK magazines and drums.
• Each M72 is precision crafted to your liking by Christian at Embach Armory out of a genuine Yugo Wars surplus parts kit.
• No matter how you choose to configure your M72 it will be fully 922r compliant and built with extreme attention to detail.
  • 922r parts: FCG, receiver, barrel, and muzzle device
• With perfect rivets, pin work, fit, and finish, our quality standard is very high.
• Choose from a range of popular receiver, barrel, fire control group, muzzle device, and finish options to truly set your M72 build apart from them all.
• If you choose to have a shorter barrel or aftermarket stock installed, the original bipod and stock from the kit will be included with the completed rifle.
• Each M72 will ship with the matching 30 round Yugo BHO magazine from the parts kit.
• NO Ugly Roll Marks, NO canted sights, perfectly fitted mag-well, beautiful pins, perfect rivets, only… perfection.
