It’s in excellent condition. It’s to bad your on the other side of the state from me.

Just a folding stock Npap. Nothing too exciting, probably worth $650-$700, maybe a bit more if you're lucky. As stated above sell it with one mag and then sell the rest separate, as they aren't going to add much value to it.

Yep. NPAP DF. $700 new at Prepper's right now, so maybe more like $600-$650. That model does not have the 1.5mm receiver. Original Yugo 30 round mags are probably worth $20 each. What is the 75 round 'mag'?. A drum? If you have pics of that we can give some value estimates also.

Good Romanian Surplus Drums are going for $100.00 + now. Easily get $75.00 for a good condition used euro drum. Korean will be less.

Would that be the "bulged trunion" receiver that everyone used to act like it was the only kind worth owning?

I believe the bulged front trunions are RPK style. The 1.5” is just .5 thicker all around.

I think RPK’s style receivers have both features.

The bulged trunion was the RPK style, as noted by Hodgie, for the Second Pattern AKM weapon (M70AB1 and M70AB2). It was incorporated to the Yugo AKM pattern along with the 1.5mm sheetmetal receiver to aid in strengthening the weapon for launching grenades.
Its just a cool feature to add into ones collection.

Chinese guns also have thicker receivers (without the bulged trunnion) but that is because the steel isn't as good.

Mine's the Yugo M70AB2 (Century International Arms)

In all honesty the yugo pap series are hit or miss with heat treat issues and imo I'd only offer 4-500 for it
