Hello. I was just at the gun shop, a new one I was checking out, and I saw a milled norinco mak90 sitting on display for $699 brand new. It had the thumbhole stock and everything.
Buut, I thought that they stopped importing them back in the 90s? So how the hell did I see a new one in 2011?
So my brother insisted that he heard good things about polish AKs if you can find them, and there was indeed a Polish model 1960 sitting in the display rack, also for $699.
The Polish was by FAR the tightest, smoothest one there with NO magazine wobble at all.
To what I understand, the Polish model 1960 is made out of surplus used parts and American parts to make it Import-legal.
Whereas the MAK 90 is primarily Chinese parts with a chrome lined barrel and a few american parts to make it legal.
Oh, and Just to be clear, Both of them had milled receivers.
I figure maybe it was the magazine in the mak90, since there's so many out there, maybe some just fit tighter and would be as solid as the Polish one.
But isn't the MAK90 supposed to be superior? Isn't it rare and collectible? What the hell was going on with seeing a brand new one in 2011?
