Hello,
I haven't ventured much into the realm of AK's and AR's. My experience with long guns is primarily with hunting arms and US military rifles.
I ran across a Mak-90 Sporter in 7.62x39 in a gun shop today for $400. The gun was in good shape, appeared well maintained, and had a decent bore. It did have the thumbhole stock. After doing some research at home, I do not remember if it had a threaded barrel end or not. I also don't remember if it was slant or straight cut.
For anything associated with the AK, $400 seems like a good price. Before running across this particular rifle, I had contemplated buying something in x39 for relatively cheap plinking...and this comes along.
I understand that if I want to change that stock, I'll have to make sure I'm in 922 compliance and that's not a big deal. I'm looking for any insights on the rifle and if the Mak-90 Sporter is a decent rifle.
I don't mind dropping the money on this rifle, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to walk away either. Any input or thoughts? Decent rifle, decent deal?
Thanks in advance.
