    Norinco MAK 90 follows me home today.

    Sold/traded the dpms Ar10 cause 308 sucks in price these days. Got more for trading it which was cool. Always wanted a Chinese ak which is cool too. Hope the pic turns out. God bless.

    Very nice!!! Good or bad since the bayo lug and cleaning rod holder were removed, that is a European bayo. The Chinese didn't use the wire cutter style. Still nice to have one.

    Also nice is the furniture was restored to original give Bush1 a conniption condition.

    Thank you sir. The bayo is German. Everything is so pristine inside like it was in a closet for forever and only factory fired. I'm happy the ammo just became cheap again.

    Congrats. The Chinese AK types always had the smoothest lightest triggers on them. Now you need to get a bayonet lug on that thing so you can actually use the bayonet.

    Great deal. Pretty rifle.

    I wish there were some way to open up the flow of Chinese firearms back into the US. They had the best AK's.

    Thanks guys. First thing I noticed when I got home is that the trigger is silk compared to the WASR 10s I've had. Are drums a pain to find these days? I've never actually seen an am drum in person. I'm going to sell my pile of 308 for some mags or ammo maybe a drum mag.

    75 round drums are fairly easy to find, but watch out for people who think their drums are worth their weight in gold. While the Chinese 100 rounders are harder to come by, and usually too expensive, the 75 rounders should be in the area of $100 because there were a few imported within the last few years that came through Europe, but were suspiciously identical to the old Chinese, and very possibly might have been an importer trying to get that which shall not be infringed imported.

    Not sure about the so-called Korean drums, but this is a really good deal: http://www.cdnnsports.com/magazines/...l#.VFJp2_nF9K0

    Thanks for the link nut. It looks like the rifle was imported in 1994 by the serial having 94 first. Does anyone know a way to determine the rifles year of birth? That's one thing I always like to know.

    With the Chinese there was no way to tell actual date of manufacture. The date stamped on some of them most likely is the import date, but could also be date of manufacture. Not all Chinese AK variants had any sort of date stamps, and after speaking with several importers, records of when what was imported just didn't happen.

    Thanks again nut. They are mysterious little guns. Here's a question, why so many pins in the receiver? It seems like a lot. Hope the pic works.

    There are only 2 true pins in the operating area of the receiver, the hammer and trigger pin. The others are rivets. There are also round marks on either side of many receivers that are the weld marks for the rails. You can also say that there is a pin to hold the barrel in place.
