There is an 18 page thread on MAK90's on the first page.
I'd look for Norinco and Polytech in as close to original configuration as possible. That is going to be the majority of pre-bans. There are some Egyptian Maadis, Romanian rifles, and maybe some Polandball guns after that. But Norinco and Polytech are going to be by far the most numerous. They are also of excellent quality (provided bubba hasn't fucked with it by adding $40 railz, laz0rs, and other stupid shit). Underfolders suck. They are for paratroopers to strap to their chest. |

Nornico mak90s are preban and legal to transfer you can get them for around $700-$800
ETA: you're going to need a trashcan also

What about a Zastava? Pretty sure that is Yugoslavian. Just make sure it's pre-ban. I couldn't ever make heads or tails of the 1990's slavic wars |

Find what you want and buy it. I discovered buying something thinking I'll just swap out a few parts. The modularity of the AR platform AK's are not, but it was a lot of fun! Goodluck!

Norinco Make 90. The goofy thumbhole stock is easily replaced by iron wood stocks.
Don't let the stock stop you or be a hindrance. |

If you are going with a Mak90, try to find the straight receiver over the slanted receiver. It gives you more choices for stocks should you replace the rear trunnion.

I know nothing about AK's. Didn't obummer just sign an executive order banning the importation of certain AK's. Thought I may have missed my chance as prices skyrocket on existing supply.

Mike This only applies to Russian AK's. And there are still plenty of them to sell, It looks like dealers are using this to markup their prices
I wouldnt look for a russian ak anyways..... A MAK90 or Polyetch, depending on how much you want to spend, is your best bet. They are ALL preban. No questions asked....and a good dealer will do the transfer on them. Other countries variants may be more difficult to prove are preban(not saying they dont exist) but because of clintons ban on importation of chinese rifles EVERYONE knows they were made PRIOR to 94(which is also CT's exemption cutoff year). Good luck with the search, Im VERY happy with my chinese AK.....although I didnt really get bit by the bug to acquire more

I am actively looking for a Chinese gun.
Would love a true pre ban(1989) but they are just too much money. The only ones that I see affordable are the B West models. Lots of mixed reviews on them. Poor heat treating unless certain serial number prefix. Does anyone here have knowledge of them or should I run away? |

You have to be careful of the "made in USA" B-west rifles. It is well known that some of the receivers aren't heat treated. The problem is nobody knows which serial numbers are the problems. Plus nobody seems to know what type of metal was used. So heat treating the receivers could be a problem.
I have a B-West receiver here. I used the file test to check for hardness. I couldn't make a dent in the trigger holes as I could on the rear of the receiver under the stock. I'm confident enough to build a Romy G off that receiver. If you watch gunbroker, you will see an example of soft receivers from time to time. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I bought a Mak90 from Gunbroker. I plan to pick it up tomorrow. I have already ordered some 922 parts. Once I verify it is not a slant back I will order new wood from Ironwood.
Of course like anything I started watch more auctions and ended up buying an NHM91 as well. I wont be able to pick that up for two weeks. Soon I will be pressing front sights and gas blocks. |
