They are available because they bring a premium. Change the FSB to a spikee underfolder and change the stock you have an original Chicom AK for a lot less than an original preban model

Almost every gun ever made is still available. You just have to be patient and look.
The weird thing about my Chinese AKs, is that they have never jammed or misfired once over decades of shooting them. I can't even say that about my Glocks. |

If mak 90s are regarded as some of the best aks made why are they still available on gunbroker? they exported them by the rail car loads. there was something like 5 importers that brought them in, so they pretty much flooded the market with them. because they were cheap, around 200 bucks, follks like me bought a couple of them

How hard are they to de-ban? I dont really like the hooded front sight block.
They have been around a while so Im guessing they can be modded pretty easily? M4 stock adapters, Ultimak, etc. |

Back in the early 90's you could go to any gunshow and the vendors would literally have stacks upon stacks of them on their tables around $200-$250 each. That's why you can find them without too much trouble. They cost a bit more than that now though. I wish I had bought a container of the damn things back then, them and the Maadi's.

I would put a Want to Buy in the Equipment exchange here and at any AK forum you can find. Also check Gunbroker. Gunshows, but expect to pay over $200 for one. |

The more I read about these the more I want one since they seem like a great value. $800 seems a bit steep though, especially considering the debanning costs.

BTW, I would stock up heavily on ammo and mags. like real, real soon, while the supply and prices are still good. |

Luckily they are.
As you know, one of the best AKs made. Lots of them imported and were inexpensive Not now The days of $200 AKs and $100 for a case of 1000 rd surplus ammo are long gone. A lot of the MAC90s available now are from the guys that bought cheap and are now selling for profit. They, like most other AKs, will always be "available". The prices now just reflect the current market. Of course the best models will bring top dollar. A lot of junk out there now being sold. If Clinton had won the election, they would be at least double the price they are now. Get one and enjoy it. You will not regret it. Not sure about a way to tell about the receiver cut without removing stock Good luck |

The US made rifles are problematic. I would buy a factory commie gun and call it good. I love my mak 90's They work..

Love the one I did get, though.  Attached File |

There is nothing special about a mak90. Decent rifle but not great. I had 2 still have one. The one I have had a crooked front sight and the trunnions looks like it was milled with a Dremel. I would take them over century builds but a nice European ak is superior.

Damn you need to be more picky!
MIne was really an 84s that they scrubbed the 84s off of and overstamped it with a crude ass "MAK 90" (i love that part). It's straight as an arrow. But most weren't made like that. just be picky |
