Whether you have a MAK-90 or other Chicom AK, you better get one and put it away for a rainy day.....

No bayonet lugs on these....I talked to Ed Brown of Kengs a few days ago. Regardless, still a good deal...they are chromed and threaded.
take care, Tec |

Tec-nine is sort correct.. These have no lugs.. But they will accept the type I bayonet.. The Type I bayo latches to the front sight base, and hooks to the gas block..

Already picked up a pre-ban Chicom barrel from Jnewt a month before all the
barrel stuff started. It even has a bayo Lug. Glad i got it when i did. Used it to complete the conversion of my thumbhole my NHM-90 back to a proper looking Chicom AK. I'd post a pic, but have no where to host it. KyARGuy |

Kengs has chinese barrels for $65, CenterFireSystems has MAK 90 kits w/all parts except receiver, trigger guard and trunnions for $98.
The only hard part is finding 19mm barrel trunnions to build them up with. The few I've found were all priced over $100 each. Global Trades used to import Bulgy 19mm conversion trunnions, but not anymore. Only other option would be to machine and weld on a sleeve to beef up the diamter from 19 to 22 or 23mm. |

I don't think I would want to go the MAK-90 kit route.....if so, you would have to use an OOW or Arsenal receiver.....Chinese Receivers are awesome.
Go with the MAK-90, 922r parts, and pre-ban barrel. |

Krinkfreak, How are the Mak90s with you? Are they good rifles? The one in the AK ABCs that was rebarreled sure is a looker. They're all over gunbroker at prices less than 500$ for a thumbhole stock, and I'm pretty sure they can be made 922r compatible with a few parts. Ben |

You can't beat a Chinese AK. Everything is forged on the MAK-90 (as all chicoms are).
I remember drilling on my receiver (an older one I had) to put a red side folder trunnion into place. That receiver was "squealin" as I was drilling. I finally got through and cap-screwed the side folder trunnion into place. Plus the Chinese receivers are thicker than the European Receivers. "Get a MAK" |

Is there any difference between ChiCom trunnions? I have the barrel/front trunnion & torch cut reciever stub from a Type 84 5.56 AK (E-bay buy, auction description had it mislabled as 7.62x39). Norinco 5.56 parts are a bugger to find. |

What's the difference between the NHM-90/91 and the Mak-90? Did they make Maks in milled receivers? Ben |

These polytech barrels will fit into an NHM-90 front trunion right?

So does anyone know if the Polytech barrels are the same diameter as the Norinco barrels?

I've been thinking about getting a chinese variant (Probably the only one I don't have yet
)So, Krink...Not all Mak's are created equal are they? What am I looking for in one? second, The barell above - does it take a cleaning rod underneath? |

Get a MAK-90 with the straight cut receiver in the rear.
Yes. The barrel from Polytech Parts takes the cleaning rod. Here are some pics for reference: MAK Receiver/Stamped Straight Cut  Egyptian Maadi, Romanian, Hungarian Receiver/Stamped Straight Cut  MAK Receiver/Milled Single Stock Tang  Bulgarian Receiver/Milled Single Stock Tang  MAK Receiver/Stamped Angle Cut  Romanian Receiver/Stamped Radius Cut  |

Very good ARK!! I was wondering if someone would catch that. I haven't put it in yet. The new barrel was a little off of lining up with the trunnion hole, and i need to recut the barrel groove to make it fit. It is headspaced fine right now, and all i have to do is reinstall the pin. That will probably get done this week once it cools down. I may refinish the wooden grip too. It is a little darker than the rest of the gun. But I may just live with it as it is. It looks al hell of alot better than it did when i started out. It was a Thumbhole, Pipe welded to the muzzle, weaver base attached to the dust cover, 5 shot mag sporter when i got it. Now it looks respectable at least... KyARGuy |

The NHM91 has the long barrel and the bipod. The red one is a milled MAK90 w/Ironwood stock set...
p.s. the SAIGA-12 19" is in front...

Krinkfreak, what's needed to get one of these barrels installed? I remember you said they took some extra work but i don't remember what.
