Have a chance to buy an Norinco made Mak90. Is this a good AK?

[JDS556762]

Just sold 3 at our shop from an estate sale for 550.00 each. New condition no box or docs thumbhole stock 1 mag. They’re out there for cheaper than 800-1000

They’re a good AKM. Not an incredible AKM. They’re machining isn’t worth 1000.00 but the rarity due to import makes them more valuable. They have a nice blueing and chromed barrels. Some are slant cut receivers some are straight cut receivers.

Slant cut - only takes Chinese and Chinese type furniture

Straight cut - takes most AKM furniture with minor negligible fit and finish.

Barrels usually aren’t threaded

They run well, they’re good looking, but still lest we forget...

Be weary of BFI parts kit Mak-90s built on their in-house receivers. They weren’t heat treated and the rivets would wallow out the holes over time.

The steel is 1.6mm as opposed to the typical stamped 1mm. I always was told it was because Chinese steel at the time was inferior. Despite the extra thick receiver it doesn’t have the typical bulged trunnion like you see on VEPR and Yugoslavian AK variants.

They’re a cool piece of history, nice shooting AKs, aesthetically pleasing, and built just fine. I personally wouldn’t mind paying 700ish for a nice Mak-90 I would be shooting

Wonder if I can flip it here for $700 to $900? But might have to stipple the wood stock first.

Just drop it on your driveway for the 'battle-worn finish' that is so fashionable right now...
