That's a post-ban Norinco NHM-91, not a "National Match" which is what Polytech calls its long-barreled pre-ban rifle. I think the seller is a little confused while trying to ID the rifle or is trying to hook someone not knowing into buying it.
You can see some better photos of what a Norinco NHM-91 looks like here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=116808113 |

heavy barrel does not mean match barrel, although advertisers often pretend it is.
also, some guns like belgium fals were marked ".308 Match" because then its a civilian rifle, while marked 7.62 NATO would make it prohibited as a military caliber in some juristictions. |
| They definately do exist - agian, the Polytech Legend National Match on the milled receiver. Believe it or not, they used to be about $200 more expensive than the Polytech Legend milled receiver rifle when both were found new in the box. Now, it's kind of flip-flopped. |

What exactly does "National Match" mean, and were any of these rifles ever actually used in the "National Match"?? Did they win? BTW - what exactly is "match grade" anyway? Same as CAI, Interarms.... That is the Company the rifle was Imported to. Basically, they received a high volume of Chinese AKs. I do not believe they modified the rifles at all, other than placing their name on them. match grade = near perfect barrel, that will provide excellent accuracy and groups. Some report nearly no uniformity thru out the entire barrel. |

I have an NHM-91 and it's not a match rifle. I think the match label and 20" barrel was added to the MAK90 as a way to make them more PC during the assault rifle ban. I might be wrong about that.
The best I ever shot was 2"ish group with silver bear "effect" ammo at 75 yards. My NHM really loved that stuff. To bad they don't make it any more  . I can't get better than 3" with wolf, most with wolf is about 4".
Either way it makes a good deer rifle and if you add a scope mount you could make it look somewhat like a Tabuk. |

My friend's Yugo m72 surprised me w/ 1in groups @ 100yrs (1moa) with wolf. That was the 1st and only time he shot it too. Silver Bear they also have SP. |

I thought the AW ban thing might have something to do with it too - kindof like the SPAS (Sporting-Purposes Automatic Shotgun) I'm finishing one now that I put a scope mount and a PSO 4x on - mostly because I think the bipod is a disaster. The hard part was welding on a cleaning rod holder on the gas block and the FSB, I just don't care for an empty hole. Of course, the hardest part is welding two cleaning rods together to make one long enough - or rather - its easy to weld together - its hard to weld together STRAIGHT |
