I have had this since 1994.  I got it when I was 16 and have put 4-5000 rounds through it.  It has been great and I know nothing about it.  Here is what I do know.  It is a Norinco and had a thumbhole stock on it when it was new.  I still have the stock but would like to put a pistol grip and normal AK furniture on it.  I have herd people talk about milled and non milled.  What is mine and what is better.  Where can I buy a nice grip and stock that will work?  I paid $300 for it.  What are they going for now?  I'm not selling it but would like to know.  What is the general consensus on Norinco?  The Lower says MAK-90 Sporter Cal 7.62X39mm. Numbers match and start in the 93772XX. It also says  C.A.I.ST.ALB.VT  I'm not sure what this means.  Thanks for the help.

Norincos are nice Ak's. Its a stamped receiver. Milled are gonna be considered better but stamped Norinco receivers are probably some of the best. If you want to add a pistol grip you will need to add some US made parts to make it legal. Many add a new fire control group and stock set. Your gonna need 5 compliant parts. The FCG counts as 3 & the stock counts as three. As far as price I would value it at around $400 maybe a little more or maybe a little less depending on its condition.

You can get stock kits from K-var, Tapco had them at one time and might still, dont forget the US MADE PARTS! that is a big deal, information abounds about it.

And take that gay thing off the stock, you seriously dont single load loose rounds...right?
