I just picked up 2 new rifles today, One is a 16" Olympic AR and the other is a "MAC-90". I am not sure of the "pre-ban / post-ban" status of the AK-47...The markings on the gun are as follows:
All on LH side of receiver
"386" (with a circle around)
"93140##"(I assume this is a serial#)
"MAK-90"
"SPORTER" (Etched in by hand)
"CAL 7.62x39
"K S I POMONA CA." (Etched in by hand)
"MADE IN CHINA" (Etched in by hand)
Also, on bottom of receiver:
"NORINCO"
"MADE IN CHINA"
This gun appears to be of very high quality...very nice "machined" parts.
Nothing looks cheap, all parts look like "forgings" NOT "castings"
Also has a "Milled" receiver...Definately NOT a stamped unit...
Any AK Experts here ???
I paid $ 450.00 for the AK & $ 575.00 for the AR.... How'd I do ?
Both guns are NEW and Unfired.
The AK came in a box with all kinds of goodies (cleaning rod, brush kit, sling, etc...)
The Oympic is nothing special...just another for my collection...
I figured I'd ask for help here first...... before traveling to the "OTHER" side........[:)]
