[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can I do anything cool to a mac 90?

Posted: 10/27/2004 1:19:41 PM EDT

I got the old milled mac 90 with the thumbhole stock.
Fairly nice weapon since I bought it new and have fired maybe 200 rounds through it.
I don't do much with it since it is kinda fugly with the current stock.
Can anything be done with this thing like put a new stock on it or flash suppressor
or am I stuck with this thing in my safe and take it out and shoot it once a year?

First of all......Damn, that's a good looking rifle.
Second. Give me some details.
Where did you find a folding stock for a milled Mac?
Did you do the re-finish on it?
Did you do the smithing on it to install the stock and required U.S. parts?

the standard answer is...make a type 56 clone out of it for the price of a buttstock and pistol grip. add a usa slant compensator, a usa trigger group and buy a few usa mag floor plates and followers.

after that, everything is fair game...there are tons of mods you can do or have done.

You know a really cool thing you could do with that Mak is sell it to me dirt cheap. That'd be cool.

The folding stock is an Ace, from www.riflestocks.com It's a modular stock system and they sell receiver block, to mount the stocks, for a number of different rifles, including the slant cut milled receiver MAK-90.

My gunsmith did the refinishing; it's DuraCoat in the Vietnam Tiger Stripe pattern.

Installing internal parts and stocks on AKs is not rocket science. Couple of screw drivers and three hands is the most it takes to do just about anything short of installing a barrel.
