Manufacturer: Norinco Type: Rifle Model: NHM91 Caliber: 7.62x 39MM Barrel Length: 19.5" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: N/A  Log: 2545 S/N:9200948 Ref #: N/A Notes: This is a Norinco NHM91 rifle, a robust semi-automatic firearm crafted by China North Industries Corp (Norinco), likely produced in the early 1990s, with its origins traceable through import records for added historical context. Introduced as a civilian adaptation of the Soviet RPK light machine gun, the NHM91 was brought to the U.S. market post-1989 import ban, modified with features like a thumbhole stock to comply with regulations while mimicking the RPK’s squad-support role. Its design reflects Norinco’s effort to blend military-inspired durability with civilian accessibility, often prized by AK enthusiasts and collectors. The rifle features a 19.5-inch heavy barrel, shorter than the original RPK’s but thicker for enhanced stability and accuracy, paired with a forward-mounted bipod for prone shooting. Weighing approximately 9 to 10 pounds (4.1 to 4.5 kg), it’s equipped with factory iron sights—no optics included—maintaining its rugged, utilitarian profile. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, a widely available and hard-hitting cartridge, it delivers a muzzle velocity of around 2,300 feet per second, excelling in both range and field use. The semi-automatic action ensures reliable cycling, adapted from the Kalashnikov platform .Presented in moderate condition, this NHM91 functions properly with its bipod intact, showing wear that adds authentic character—a solid choice for shooters or collectors.
