Norinco MAK-90
Anyone have any experience with them? I know a guy who is looking to pick up the package in the image for $800.

"My real question is whether $800 is a good price for that package? I know Nornico's are higher quality than a lot of the other ak style rifles. But I've seen Romanian WASR-10s and Sagias under $500 all over the place. Any Ak aficionados out their know whether the differnce in quality justifies the increased price sticker? "

I figured you guys would know a lot more about this than anywhere else I could think of for a semi-quick response.

Thanks for your time!

Oh, hell they're worth twice that with the optional Che Guevara Patrol Cap.

MAK-90's are pretty decent and considering it isn't some American reworked POS I would say not a bad deal. But, some of those mags listed (smokey ones) aren't anything special. Do you know anything about the year? I think that may actually be an older pre-ban, but it's hard to tell.

Is the firearm used? If it is I would take the eight bills and look elsewhere. You can get a nice new one for that amount or less. The American reworked ones aren't that bad. I bought a new Century Arms AK-74 for about five bills. After taking it home I took it completely apart and inspected it with a magnifying glass. Atlantic firearms has a pretty good selection of AKs. The best ones I've seen, and also the most expensive, are the Russian produced Saigas.

Agreed,, If you have to ask..

It would be nice to see the stamping.
Converted Norinco's are in that price range.
If it had (and it doesn't) a milled receiver, twice that, or more.

Pre-ban's not so sure where they fall.. Their prices are driven by collectors.

But quality kit builds can be had very reasonably.
The Russian Saigas are also good, but not collectable.

A few more millimeters and you got a thousand-rounder. Why buy that Model A shit?

I realize that this is worn out, but...damn.
