The NHM-91’s 20-inch heavier-profile barrel and stamped, riveted receiver deliver the extended-length profile and durability cues associated with RPK-style builds. The barrel is threaded and currently fitted with a cylindrical multi-port muzzle brake. Chambered in 7.62x39, the stated capacity is 30+1 using detachable AK-pattern magazines.
Factory marks include importer stampings for China Sports Inc., Ontario, CA, along with model and caliber markings reading "NHM91 Made in China by Norinco" and "7.62x39MM." This example retains the right-side manual safety/selector lever and a black oxide/painted receiver finish over stamped steel construction.
Custom touches set this rifle apart. It wears a Choate Tool polymer Dragunov-style thumbhole stock with a Choate-branded buttpad and a 14.5-inch length of pull. Up front, it pairs a perforated metal upper handguard with a polymer lower for a distinctive, ventilated look.
Sighting is via protected post front and tangent notch rear iron sights. A receiver-cover-mounted accessory rail is installed, offering a mounting surface for compatible accessories without altering the rifle’s core configuration.
