This MAK-90 is built on the AKM platform with a stamped steel receiver and visible rivet heads. It uses a gas-operated long-stroke piston system and a right-side charging handle, with a right-side safety/selector lever.
The rifle wears a fixed wood thumbhole stock with a rubber buttpad and a 13.75 length of pull. Matching wood upper and lower handguards are installed, and the lower handguard has ventilation cutouts. A rear sling attachment point is visible at the buttstock.
Sighting is via open iron sights, using a hooded front sight assembly with a front post and a tangent-style rear sight leaf. The muzzle is shown with no muzzle device installed.
