Manufacturer: Norinco Type: Rifle  Model: Mak-90 Semi Caliber: 7.62x39mm Barrel Length: 16.3" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes  Log: 2544 S/N: 9487995 Ref #: N/A Notes: The Norinco MAK-90 is a Chinese-manufactured, semi-automatic rifle based on the AK-47 design, imported into the United States in the early 1990s following the ban on certain military-style firearms. Built for civilian use, the MAK-90 ("Modified AK, 1990") retains the durability and reliability of its military predecessors while conforming to U.S. import restrictions of the time. This example, serial number 9487995, is chambered in 7.62x39mm, a cartridge known for its balance of power, range, and controllability. It features a 16.3-inch barrel with a chrome-lined bore for enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity. The rifle utilizes a stamped steel receiver and a gas-operated, long-stroke piston system, contributing to its robust performance and simple maintenance. It is fitted with a synthetic thumbhole stock, a design element added to meet U.S. compliance requirements. Like its military counterparts, it accepts standard AK-pattern magazines, typically 30-round capacity. With a muzzle velocity of approximately 2,350 feet per second, the 7.62x39mm round delivers effective terminal ballistics at moderate ranges. The rifle weighs around 8.5 pounds unloaded and has an overall length of roughly 35 inches. Standard iron sights include a hooded front post and an adjustable rear notch, providing practical accuracy for a variety of shooting applications. This example is in good overall condition, showing light wear consistent with use but maintaining full mechanical functionality. The bore remains clean, and the action cycles smoothly. Some finish wear and handling marks are present on the metal and synthetic components, but no significant structural damage is noted. The Norinco MAK-90 remains a sought-after rifle due to its solid construction, smooth operation, and historical significance in the evolution of AK-pattern firearms in the U.S. market.
