Worth? Norinco MAK-90

[PistolBob]

Milled receiver, thumbhole stock, couple of 30rd mags, web sling. Appears to be in pretty good shape, not in love with the stock though...but it may be convertible. Dark wood furniture.

Any idea what this thing would be worth?

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

if it's the same gun I'm thinking...

do you know if it has a slant cut receiver or square cut?

If I remember correctly, this can make a HUGE difference in value - for those who want to mount traditional AK furniture to it.

What he said.

Norincos are great guns. If you keep it an want to change the stock Ironwood makes some really sick AK furniture for it. Even if it's a slant cut Ironwood has you covered. If you go to combloc customs you can see what they look like finished.

Great rifles indeed. A milled receiver probably around $750+ depending on shape/original box.

 

[PistolBob]

No Box, great shape...gotta check on the slant/square issue. Thanks.

$750+ for a milled

I would estimate $700 to 800 for a milled receiver. Earlier this year I purchased a Norinco Mak 90 stamped receiver in perfect shape (didn't look like it had ever been fired) for $500 from an Individual. I did quite a bit of work to it to make it what I wanted - Walnut furniture from Ironwood (they also make the milled version) added a 8X PSOP scope, changed the trigger to a Tapco G2, added a Bipod and replaced the magazine followers and gas piston to keep it 922r compliant. Really like the rifle now.

Around $5. Now please point me in it's direction so I can buy it out from under you

I sold one of these a few years back to a friend and maybe its time to see if he wants to get rid of it. I'm guessing he has no idea of the current worth.

That is certainly worth a try!

It's easier to put a regular AK stock on a square cut receiver. On a slant cut, you'd have to get a stock from Ironwood Designs, or DIY. Of course, a MAK-90 with slant-cut receiver can still be a very nice rifle.

Just found this image. This is what it looks like if you put a regular stock on a slant-cut receiver.

Can't believe nobody has posted this yet. If the MAK-90 is milled receiver type, they were/are all slant cut.

Norinco used the same cut as the Poly Tech Legend underfolder, and instead of a rectangular hole for the stock like all other milled AK type rifles, the hole is round. Unless you want to make your own stock, which is possible since I have done it myself, Ironwood Designs is the only one I know of that makes the special stock required for a milled MAK-90.

I have one none stock and wondering how much it's wort?

 

[Coltsfan2134]

Bone stock sorry

If you have one without a stock and it has warts, no one will want to touch it.

 

[indykid]

Sorry for not answering the question earlier. These days milled MAK-90s are bringing $750 and up. The marked for Chinese AK variants has gone crazy as more people get into the hobby. With a fixed number in this country, prices are probably likely to continue the rise. It wasn't too long ago that I was buying and selling the milled MAKs for well under $500.

+1 for the the Ironwood Stock Set. Just got mine and am getting ready to order the quad rail, gas piston, tapco trigger group, a2 flash hider and have a few magazine followers and bottoms for compliance. Recommend the bakelite US PALM Grip. WIth blonde (chinese) colored wood it looks pretty nice.

i was right there with you until you said quad rail.
