| Thinking about a norinko mak-90, [$500] It looks like its never been shot, is that a good deal and whats the diff. between a mak-90 and a ak47? Kinda new to the whole ak/ sks schene, sorry if its a stupid question. |
| If it is in good shape I would pick one up for that price. Mak's were cheaper but now everything is higher. A stamped receiver is usually 1mm but the mak's have 1.5mm receivers which helps the rifle sustain more abuse. A 1mm will definitely work though. Most ak's are painted black whereas the mak is blued. I like the look but it is not as durable in my opinion. A mak has a closed circle front sight. And of course the thumbhole stock. I seem to like the thumbhole ak's better;sa-93, slr-95, sa-85 and mak's. When you go to convert it just make sure you stay compliant. |
| thanks guys that helps. i went and shot my TGI ak47 this morning and am very impressed, i think it as good as my bushmaster or even the colt hbar 100 yds and under withopen sights. i think i will get the mak90. I have to change that ugly[just not for me] thumb hole stock. i thought i saw a web site with stock sets for angle or striaght receivers. thanks again |

yes what he said ironwood designs has every reciever in the known ak world but if you get a straight cut reciever I believe you can use any normal type of ak stock. |
