Some looked like the bluing was an afterthought.ДЄnother thing about all Chinese AKM variants was that their receivers were 1.5 mm thick versus the pretty standard European ones at 1.0 mm. Some better than others, some with a bluing that was close to what added to the special look of the older Colt revolvers, a very deep blue. One was that all Chinese AK variants were blued. They would make anything the importer wanted as long as a minimum number were ordered.Д«ut there were a few rules that they did follow. Just to add, my favorite saying on Chinese rifles is that the only rule with Chinese AK variants, there were no rules.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. Ironwood Designs makes a Norinco looking stock to fit this odd-ball receiver. Oh, there were some that had the rear receiver cut at an odd angle in an attempt to prevent the installation of a separate pistol grip and original stock. Unfortunately finding pre-ban front sight and gas blocks is nearly impossible because the parts were also banned along with the rifles in 1994.

They all were very good shooters, and easy to remove the Bush-hole stock and install the standard 56S stock set for an almost original look. Fortunately you can thread the turned down barrels as there are slant brakes made in 1/2x28 right hand for an original AK look even though most Chinese had muzzle nuts on the barrel.ДЄll were great rifles, with the receiver still built to a high standard of quality, retaining that great trigger feel that were arguably the best of any factory made AK variant. There were also some that came in with the barrel muzzle turned down to prevent the rifle from being threaded to the standard 14x1mm left hand thread.

In 1993 and the final year 1994, Norinco actually date stamped the rifle, with the 93 or 94 in front of the serial number. Some had the hole for the muzzle device in the front sight base, some didn't.

The next set that came in were factory marked MAK-90s that had unthreaded but full diameter barrels, with no attachment lugs for the cleaning rod. These can be determined by the 386 factory stamp still on the rifle, and the longer collar for the underfolding bayo still intact but the bayo attachment cut off. There were also some Poly Tech rifles that were made 'sporting'. Some had the name and factory stamp very professionally ground off, with MAK-90 restamped on the trunnion. Many still had the original name (56S) X'd out as even the name was considered evil, and the MAK-90 name hand stamped on the receiver or front trunion. These were the so-called 'caught in port' models. The first MAK-90s still had threaded barrels, with the cleaning rod attachment intact but the bayo lug ears ground off. His executive order demanded ATF follow the 1968 GCA rules for importation which outlined what was an 'assault weapon' and what was a 'sporting purpose' weapon. Yes there is a lot of purple there, but that is also what he did.

By removing the ability to install a flash hider and bayonet and removing the 'conspicuous pistol grip' and replacing the stock with what I coined a 'Bush-hole' stock, the rifle became angelic and unable to cause any violence. The MAK-90 (Modified AK model year 1990) was a result of George Bush the First believing that features of a rifle could be evil, and would cause an otherwise honest person to become a baby killing machine.
