I ran across a mak 90 at a pawn shop this weekend and I dont know a lot about Ak's. It was an underfolder, original, i think it was a type 80? The price was $1000 and I passed it up. Was that a mistake? Whats the value of an original underfolder mak 90? Thanks Svej |

Well, to start-out, I'm going to ASSUME you saw one of three things. 1) (Most likely), one of the '56S-1 guns that, though originally shipped from China as an under-folder got caught in customs as the ban was being inacted and subsequently turned into a "MAK" to get it into the country. (These are neat guns and with the right number of parts you can take them back to under-folders without breaking any laws). Worth between $350-$500 depending on what part of the country you're in and condition. 2) Would be an actuall '56S-1 though, it wouldn't say "MAK-90" on it, it's a pre-ban under-folder. You see them anywhere from $800-$1,000 on gun boards. 3) Would be a standard MAK-90 that someone has converted to an under-folder (With or with-out the correct parts). Anywhere from $375-$450 (To ME at least). There's one more option that "Might" be in there too (?) If you read the "Type-80" part wrong and it actually was stamped "Type-81" the $1,000 would've been a smoking deal. Just a few of the type-81's made it in (They were sorta Chinese "Product-Improved" AK's) and, though I've never seen one offered for sale they ARE in the country and worth quite a bit. |
