The left side of the receiver is stamped "ZASTAVA-KRAGUJEVAC / MADE IN YUGOSLAVIA", with the right side exhibiting stampings stipulating the serial number, model designation, caliber designation, and Mitchell Arms' importer information.

Additional features include a flash hider, detachable bipod, partially finned barrel, open AK pattern front sight, ladder rear sight with night sight attachment, and a black rubber recoil pad. This already scarce example is accompanied by an original Yugoslavian drum magazine and its original and matching Mitchell Arms importer box containing a Yugoslavian ZRAK M76B scope with its soft case, bore snake, canvas sling, butt trap cleaning kit, as well as a 30-round magazine. CONDITION: Near new, with metal components retaining virtually all of their original factory applied blue finish, exhibiting few minute nicks and marks from storage and handling overall. Mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well defined rifling throughout. Laminated wood furniture is excellent, exhibiting some minor nicks and marks from storage and handling, with an impression present on the right side of the upper handguard. Optic is clear and sharp. Box exhibits some creases and marks from handling and storage, with the lid exhibiting a small hole, but is otherwise fine. An exceptional condition example of a desirable Mitchell Arms RPK-47 semi-automatic rifle. MLW
