Introducing the Norinco MAK-90 Sporter Semi Auto Rifle, a contemporary classic for gun enthusiasts and collectors alike. Manufactured in 1994 by the renowned China North Industries Corporation (Norinco), the MAK-90 Sporter is a unique variant of the iconic AK-47 that boasts a rich history and superior functionality. This firearm is in good condition, showing signs of use and handling that add to its character. Included in the purchase are a bonus soft case, an owner's manual, and two magazines - a 30rd and a 10rd, the latter being a Chinese-made rarity.
Notable features of the MAK-90 Sporter include a blued finish that provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a glossy chu wood thumbhole stock with rubber recoil pad. The firearm is equipped with a rear adjustable leaf U notch and front adjustable ring/post sight, a chrome-lined 16" barrel, and operates on a gas piston action. Its desirable straight-cut receiver allows for conversion back to pre-ban status, adding to its collector appeal. Despite the finish showing signs of wear, the overall condition of the rifle is commendable.
The MAK-90 Sporter's historical significance lies in its creation following the 1989 assault weapons ban in the United States. This legislation prohibited the importation of "assault-style" firearms, prompting Norinco to design a less threatening variant, the MAK-90 Sporter. Despite its less military appearance, the MAK-90 Sporter remains a powerful and capable firearm, known for its durability, reliability, and reduced recoil.
Running on a gas piston action, the MAK-90 Sporter is renowned for its improved accuracy, making it an excellent choice for sport shooting or self-defense. The 7.62x39 caliber rounds offer superior penetration power, and the large 30+1 round capacity reduces reloading time. This semi-automatic rifle embodies a perfect blend of historical significance, robust construction, and high performance, making it a must-have for any serious firearm enthusiast or collector.
