I don't really know if this has been addressed before, but I thought I'd ask. I recently scored a deal for a Norinco Mak 90 sporter and the guy that previously owned it had it converted to an underfolder style. I just took off the stock and with the GIANT gaping hole in the rear of the receiver....I was wondering if there is any way to fix it or would it be recommended to purchase a new receiver? Yeah, I'm kinda new to the AK scene but have worked on plenty of ARs, 1911s, bolt rifles & shotguns....the AK is way different than those so I figured my best bet was to inquire with the experts. THANKS!
What type of a "fix" did you want to accomplish with the Chinese UF receiver?
Even with the MAK-90 markings on the receiver, this is a receiver made expressly for the underfolder stock assembly. This receiver is generally worth more in the market than a Chinese receiver set up for a fixed stock.
Instead of trying to "fix" the receiver, you should consider selling the MAK-90 with the underfolder stock, and then use the proceeds to purchase the AK you want.
