I was given a MAK-90 recently.  It's in good shape.  It has the slant cut receiver and a thumb hole stock.  It has had the bayo mount removed.  The muzzle has been turned down and unthreaded.

I want to ditch the thumb hole stock and put it in a configuration that reflects something more modern but still reasonably military looking.  I don't care about having a bayo lug or threaded muzzle.  

What good stock options do I have?  I have three other AK-types:  an Egyptian AKM, a Bulgarian side folding -74, and a fixed stock Bulgarian -74 I built in .223/5.56.  All are ones I assembled years ago on NODAK receivers using good parts kits.

Any help is appreciated.

This is the only place I have found that is making stocks for MAK90s.

I used a Magpul Zhukov side folding stock on mine. Works with the slant cut receiver just fine. Another arfcommer, IIRC emt1851 loaned me a tap in 14x1mm,Left hand thread and I tapped the barrel with it. Then installed an A 2 style flash hider for functionality purposes. Added a Geissele AKT trigger. It runs flawlessly. Also added an Ultimak railed gas tube and a Primary Arms RDS.

Super handy set up that a great shooter. I was not looking to make a clone of anything, just wanted an efficient and reliable rifle for multiple purposes. I succeeded in my goal. It's an excellent choice for things that go bump in the night.

If you need more than 8 rounds in a 1911 to solve your problem, you need friends with rifles.

JMAC Customs and Desert Fox Outfitters make adapters so you can attach an AR buffer tube and stock to a slant cut MAK90.

You can go with a CNC Warrior/Bonesteel side folder. It works with both straight and slant cut receivers if I remember correctly. I have one on my straight cut MAK. Attached File

Yep, Desert Fox adapters are GTG.  Had a milled Mak-90, which is even less common than a slant stamped Mak-90, and their adapter worked great for mounting a tube and magpul stock.  Might take a little file work to make everything fit, but it is aluminum so it is easy to do.
2021 can’t come soon enough!

Edit- well maybe 2020 wasn’t so bad after all.....

I bought a Zukhov stock.  Even though the paperwork said that it would not work on a MAK90, it did.  It's a very secure though a bit unattractive at the slant cut stock/receiver junction.

I’m thinking of purchasing a milled slant cut mak-90. I want the magpul folding stock. Can you post a pic of how it looks. Did you have to modify anything for fitment ?

It is rock solid. The stock works fine.

No modification.  I think the description says it is not for milled receivers, but I could be way off.

I just came here to post a new thread asking if anyone had used one of these adapters.  I also have a milled MAK-90.

Could you post any pictures if you get a chance?

Back during Brady I had a  Norinco "Thumbhole Monstrosity" (as they were often called back then) and couldn't wait to ditch the stock.

Now if I had one I'd probably keep it that way. It's embarrassing to say, but it fit me pretty well.

I have one with a cracked thumbhole stock. I'm pondering whether to replace it with another thumbhole or to buy a more traditional stock for it.

there are parts/adaptors out there that are made for slant cut receivers , they fit inside and basically square up the back and has holes to mount a side folder attachment , then choose the side folder stock , you may have to carefully true the slant cuts with each other , ive seen some that were longer on one side
