MAK-90 info

I've been having fun studying MAK-90s...

Norinco MAK-90 Model of the Kalashnikov AK-47

[Guest REDDOG79]

Sweet I have a MAK 90 and thanks for the info

[Guest MinorKey]

the MAK 90 is easily my favorite of the collection. i prefer it so much more than the WASR! (even will all the tricked out tacticool WASR enhancements)

Nice info I have older mak 90 I put a draganov stock on mine after I cut some more of the insides out and sanded the grip to make more comfortable also had to cut and sand to fit thinker receiver. I'll have to look to see who the importer was I don't think it was any of named.

I would be interested to know the importer. I will add it to my list.

[Guest Tusculum]

At least mine was. One of the few things the Chinese make that is without flaw! Excellent firearm.

[Guest Tusculum]

Sorry, Didnt read the whole story. My importer was CAI which I assume is Century International.

[mousegunner]

CAI or CIA (you see it both ways!) is Century International Arms, and they are the importer. Norinco is the North China Arms Company, and they are the manufacturer.

That was for CIA, and here is the Norinco link: http://www.norinco.com/c1024/english/productsandservices/index.html

I had a Mak90 a long time ago. It went bang everytime I pulled the trigger, but it surely wasn't very accurate. More a spray and pray weapon. But then I guess that is what it was designed for.

[Guest 70below]

I had a Norinco MAK90 a while back and sold it on here (regret it) but it was the only Norinco firearm I care for. It was a great shooter and of great construction. It would shoot 4" groups at 100yds freehand.....thats better than I would hope for with any AK freehand.

(it was an CJA import)

[mousegunner]

Generally speaking, AK firearms are more accurate then people give them credit for. Also, "spray and pray" is more appropriate for fully automatic weapons, which the MAK-90 is not. There are very few true AK-47s ("machine guns") at large in the USA, but there are very many semi-auto copies of AKs, of which the MAK-90 is one.

I dont have any Mak-90's, however with top notch ammo, i can easily get

1 1/2in. groups at 100 yards!

Lapua ammo is the best for That!

Most Mil. surplus will get 3-4 in. avg!

Thanks Mousegunner. That's some really great info. I bought my MAK-90 in late 94 I think. It has the best trigger of any of the dozen or so AKs I've shot over the years. A lot of folks ruin these great rifles by replacing the trigger group with Made in USA parts to be able to pistol grip them and still be 922r compliant. I've never shot a replacement trigger group that was anywhere near as good as the original. Great info! Thanks.

TK, that's pretty nifty that you bought your MAK-90 in 1994. I believe that was the last year they were imported. I bet yours is in really good condition.

[Guest page90lx]

Thanks for the info:)

Yep, mine has the "94" prefix on the serial number. I never knew until now that it indicated the year of import. I've always thought the fit and finish of these guns was the best of the AKs. Even with thousands of rounds through it, and my not-too-careful care of it, it's still in pretty good shape. I think I paid $250 for it way back when. Probably my best gun investment ever.

Great info. Friend of mine sold me his when he needed cash, and been trying to buy it back since. One of the few guns that I consider a " Keeper".
