Norinco MAK 90 7.62X39 16" Barrel with the FACTORY THUMB-HOLE STOCKS AND A BEAUTIFUL IRONWOOD DESIGNS STOCK SET. I purchased this still wrapped in factory plastic. It is in like new condition with no handling marks or blemishes. I have attached an interesting article from the website. General Specifications Calibers: Usually 7.62x39mm; rarely 5.56x45mm The overall length of 35.1 inches The barrel length of 16.34 inches Weight with empty magazine 8 lbs 4 ounces Receiver metal thickness: 1.6mm (most other stamped AKs have 1mm thick receivers) The letters/numbers MAK-90 stand for Modified AK-1990. The MAK-90 is a Chinese factory-built AK model exported to the USA from China from 1990 through 1994 by two Chinese export companies: Norinco and PolyTech. Following the import ban in 1989, the Chinese developed an AK which met the "sporting purposes" clause. (The earlier AKs were banned because of their "evil" features: pistol grips, folding stocks, threaded muzzles, and bayonets.) The new model was basically an AK with a wood thumb-hole stock and no bayonet lug (although you do sometimes see MAK-90 receivers with under-folder holes drilled and filled). Around a million MAK-90s were exported to the USA in the early 90s. According to "JA," of AK47.net, more MAK-90 rifles were imported from China than any other model of semi-automatic AK type rifle from any other country. MAK-90s were made to shoot 7.62x39 or .223 caliber ammunition. A very few were made to shoot 5.45 x 39 ammo. The retail price for a new MAK-90s was often less than $200. (I would venture to opine that the most common model NOW (2009) for sale in the USA is the WASR-10, modified for 30-round magazines. The WASR-10 is based on a CUGIR Romanian model but is modified to be "922r compliant" and distributed in the USA by Century International Arms.) On April 6, 1998, a ruling by the Treasury Secretary banned the import of semi-automatic rifles that use a magazine holding more than ten rounds. Century International Arms takes the WASR-10 imports from Romania, reams out the magazine hole to accommodate a double-stack 30 round standard magazine, and then replaces enough parts in the WASR-10 to make it 922r compliant. (In contrast to the MAK-90, you may note that the WASR-10 has stocks of cheap plywood, a ribbed receiver cover, open-top sights, no "dimple" in the receiver, and a Soviet-style scope-mount welded on the left side of the receiver.) In 1990 the Chinese AK factories screwed a nut on the muzzle to cover the threads, and some were tack welded on. The bayonet lug was ground down to eliminate the possibility of the MAK-90 having an "evil" bayonet. According to "J.A.," "...The standard thread size for AK-47 type rifles is 14x1mmLH. This means the diameter of the threads is 14mm and the pitch is 1mm. The LH means that the threads are left hand and to screw a muzzle brake onto the barrel you will have to turn it to the left/counter-clockwise." I think a lot of MAK-90 owners think they have a threaded muzzle when they really don't. If your entire barrel on your MAK-90 seems to be threaded, then it is NOT. These are just machine tool marks. The model name was ground off (or lined through) and the new model name MAK-90 was stamped. Some had 90 added to the serial number that denoted the year of import (1990). They were named "Sporter," and sold with a five-round magazine, to make them seem more like hunting rifles.
