Posted: 3/18/2005 6:32:30 AM [Last Edit: 7/22/2005 6:00:20 PM by krinkfreak] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I posted this awhile back, but some of you have been asking questions again about whether the barrels offered by Polytech will fit the MAK-90. The answer is yes, but you have to: - Cut the breech for the extractor - Drill and pin the barrel - Mill the relief for the handguard retainer - Drill the gas port - Drill and pin the FSB - Requires the early version of the Chinese bayonet

Makes good fiscal sense to upgrade a MAK.

If you have a local machine shop that's "project" friendly, you could probably go in and have it done for less than what a gunsmith would charge you.

Mark Tucker at CGA is going to install that same barrel on my NHM-90. I was'nt sure of everything that needed to be done. Looks awesome! I am trying to decide if I should have him install the underfolding bayonet fsb on my MAK-90 after he finishes my NHM-90.

Do you have a source for the underfolding FSB ???

I was looking at the EE yesterday, and found a new one listed, so I snatched it up. The stock set that is coming with my NHM-90 project from Thekatar has the groove for the bayonet on the lower forearm, so now I don't have to look for that.

Does anyone remember 10 years ago when alot of people were trash talking the MAK. These rifles were cheap I bought mine from Inland Armory at a Stout Field show for $215.00 with 5 30 round magazines. Lots of people hated them, but now they are sought after and people are now paying a premium for them. My how times do change

Will getting a front sight housing and gas block with lug from the Polytech site and swapping them out accomplish the same thing Krinkfreak has done by replacing the whole barrel? TIA

They are out of the underfolding bayonet fsb. The MAK-90 fsb does not have the cleaning rod holder. I would just buy the complete barrel. My .02

I've been looking for a chicom AK but can't decide if I should fork over the money for a true preban. Also is there a gunsmith that can put the barrel on?

They usually have a "cover" tacked over the threads. I just bought one a couple weeks ago off GB for $380. Just my .02 cents.

The one i've got is nothing like shown in the link. My barrel looks exaclty like KF's. hmm.... i might jsut have to pick up one of them bayos. What good is a pre-89 AKS without a bayo?

Posted: 6/13/2005 12:32:17 PM [Last Edit: 6/13/2005 12:34:14 PM by Chris_1522] Ok, forgive my ignorance, as I'm somewhat new here, but I assume you guys are talking about taking a Chinese thumbhole-PC-sporting AK and turning it into a evil-as-satan-even-though-it's-merely-shaped-differently assault rifle AK, correct? This makes the US parts count thing an issue. How many parts do you need to be legal? Also, how do you remove the front handgaurds to replace them with US parts? Also, how hard is it to put in US trigger parts? What's involved? There's a nice thumbhole MAK-90 at the gun store I could probably get for a song that would look really cool with a plum stock set on it. Or maybe an Ironwood stock! Also, if you counted mag parts in your parts count, does that mean legally you can only use THAT mag and no other with that gun?
