go4tze 17 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hey guys, long time reader first time poster. Been shopping for an AK for about a year now, decided I'd try to sell a few guns last month to buy a Draco, and a guy offered me a trade for a milled National Match MAK-91. I hadn't even heard of them, just the MAK-90, but of course a quick googling had me sold. Traded a Marlin 30-30 and an 870 12-gauge plus about 100 shells for the thing, straight up. I can't believe the deal I got. Have yet to shoot it, I just keep fondling it. The original furniture's been worked on a bit, and to cover up a fixed crack in the buttstock the previous owner sprayed all three pieces a texturized OD green. Had a replacement butt stock and lower handguard on it when I got it, so I made it uniform tonight. Good practice taking the gun apart to get the lower handguard off. So, here it is as it was and as it is now [cell phone pics, might borrow the wife's camera for better photos soon]. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob-cubed 74 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Depending on the price, get it. MAK91s are a great bargain in a milled rifle. Made in the same factories as the legendary Polytechs, just marketed under a different name. Unfortunately those thumb stocks suck and frequently crack. You should plan to replace with an Ironwood.

2ndAmendican 23 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Ditto on the Ironwood stock!!! Matt makes some beautiful wood, and that beautiful Norinco deserves it. Nice score!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
go4tze 17 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks guys. I'll hit up Ironwood once I have the extra cash - if I can't afford surplus ammo, I can't afford a deban haha When I get around to it, I'm thinking of a replacement stock, pistol grip, and handguards from Ironwood, then mag floorplate and follower, then threading the muzzle for a US 74 brake. Am I correct in my 922r counting here? I'd like to keep the original FCG and I'm pretty sure this would keep me compliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TARE 47 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I agree with the other two, you rifle needs some better furniture. It can wait, and you got a hell of a deal, I'm in a similar situation with a SLR-95, i don't have the dough to get it un-neutered until I sell my browing hi-power. Iron wood is definitely the way to go if you want the furinture to count towards compliance. Please keep us posted with pics if you de-ban it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
