Presenting a remarkable piece of firearm history, the Norinco MAK-90, a semi-automatic rifle that carries a rich legacy and an excellent reputation for its robustness, reliability, and precision. This firearm is a product of Norinco, China North Industries Group Corporation Limited, a reputable Chinese manufacturer known for its high-quality firearms. The MAK-90, which stands for Modified AK-1990, is a semi-automatic version of the Chinese AK-47 variant known as the Type 56. This particular model stands out with its early 5-digit serial 38XXX, imported by KSI Pomona CA.
The Norinco MAK-90 is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of use. There are minor superficial micro-scratches on the bluing, but the internals are meticulously maintained and barely fired, if at all. The bore condition is good, with minimal wear marks, and the rifling is excellent, with sharp lands and grooves. The upper handguard is slightly loose but still in great condition. This firearm boasts a 16.5" chrome-lined barrel, which is clean and well-maintained, ensuring long-term durability and reliable function.
The sale includes the owner's manual, an oil canister, the original sling, and three original magazines (10rd, 30rd, and 40rd). This rifle is chambered in 7.62x39mm, a versatile caliber known for its balance of power and manageable recoil. With a gas piston action, it promises fast and crisp cycling for quicker follow-up shots. The blued finish gives this firearm a timeless aesthetic appeal, while the Chu wood thumbhole stock with rubber recoil pad and Chu wood ventilated handguards provide both comfort and style.
The Norinco MAK-90 was created during the height of the Cold War and is a testament to the ingenious adaptations manufacturers made to export firearms following the 1989 firearms ban in the United States. Despite being tailored for the civilian market, this rifle has earned a reputation for its durability and accuracy. The high-capacity 40+1 round makes it perfect for sustained shooting sessions and adds to its appeal for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
