Norinco MAK-90 Sporter 7.62x39 Semi-Auto Rifle, 16.25 in Barrel, Chinese Stamped Receiver, Customized Quad-Rail and AR-Style Stock
This Norinco MAK-90 Sporter stands out as a 1990s Chinese-made AK-pattern rifle with distinctive import and factory markings, a 16.25-inch barrel, and a stamped, dimpled receiver. It has been customized with a tan quad-rail handguard, a tan polymer finger-grooved pistol grip, and an AR-style collapsible stock on an adapter/buffer-tube assembly. The receiver shows NORINCO’s star-in-triangle logo, and the rifle carries the C.J.A. SFLD MI import mark and "Made in China" stamp; the serial has a "94" prefix on the trunnion/receiver.
The rifle retains classic AK-pattern features, including a long-stroke gas-piston, rotating-bolt operating system and AK-style iron sights. The rear is a tangent sight with sliding leaf, paired with a protected post front sight. The receiver is stamped sheet steel and dimpled, with no left-side optics rail.
The quad-rail handguard provides top, side, and bottom Picatinny surfaces. The AR-15–style collapsible buttstock is installed on a receiver adapter and buffer tube, and the length of pull measures 12.0 inches. A right-side safety/selector is present.
The 16.25-inch barrel has no muzzle device installed or included. Capacity is listed at 30+1, and this rifle includes one 30-round polymer AK magazine with a palm-tree logo on the floorplate.
Markings are clear and useful for identification: the left receiver is marked "MAK-90 SPORTER" and "CAL. 7.62X39MM," while the right receiver bears "C.J.A. SFLD MI" over "MADE IN CHINA" along with the NORINCO star-in-triangle logo. Chinese stamped receivers are often thicker (around 1.5 mm), a trait known for added rigidity on these models.

The MAK-90 Sporter is configured in 7.62x39 and uses a stamped, dimpled receiver that reflects its AK-pattern lineage. It operates via a long-stroke gas-piston with a rotating bolt, delivering the platform’s familiar cycling characteristics.
Clear import and factory identification adds context for buyers and collectors. The right receiver is import-marked "C.J.A. SFLD MI" over "MADE IN CHINA," supplemented by the NORINCO star-in-triangle logo. The left receiver carries "MAK-90 SPORTER" and "CAL. 7.62X39MM" markings, and the serial shows a "94" prefix on the trunnion/receiver.
Furniture updates focus on modularity and handling. The tan quad-rail handguard provides Picatinny rail sections at the top, sides, and bottom. The tan polymer finger-grooved grip and the AR-15–style collapsible stock on an adapter/buffer-tube assembly tailor the rifle’s ergonomics, with a 12.0-inch length of pull.
The barrel measures 16.25 inches. There is no muzzle device installed or included. Sights are standard AK pattern: a protected post front and a tangent rear with sliding leaf. The receiver does not have a left-side optics rail.
Construction is consistent with Chinese-stamped MAK-90 rifles. The stamped sheet-steel receiver includes dimples, and Chinese stamped receivers are often thicker (approximately 1.5 mm), a characteristic known for added rigidity. Capacity is listed as 30+1, and one 30-round polymer magazine is included.
