Manufactured primarily by Zastava Arms, the M70 was adopted by the Yugoslav People’s Army and later saw service in several countries throughout the Balkans. Although it shares many characteristics with other AK-pattern rifles, the M70 includes distinctive design elements such as a reinforced receiver on many variants, a unique gas system, and furniture configurations that differ from Soviet and other international AK models.

Most military variants are chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge and operate using a long-stroke gas piston with a rotating bolt. This operating system is widely recognized for its mechanical simplicity and durability under demanding conditions. Various versions of the M70 have been produced over the years, including fixed-stock and underfolding-stock models, as well as military and civilian configurations that differ according to local laws and regulations.
