I stopped by a friend's pawn shop today. They were in the midst of "housecleaning" , pulling out old guns from the back room and checking them against their log book making sure everthing was ship shape for an upcoming ATF inspection. One weapon that they pulled was a Norinco Mak-91 with a milled receiver. Its previous owner had modified the thumbhole stock by removing the portion that joined the pistol grip to the butt and painting all the wood with a subdued gold metallic paint. It was offered to me for a very reasonable price and I accepted. Internally the weapon doesn't look like its been fired since leaving the factory. Externally , well it sat in someone's Florida attic or garage for a while and needs a good cleaning. Are there wooden military style stock sets that work with the angled rear receiver of these Maks?

Iron wood makes a set, people have also converted them to underfolder configuration as well.

Those have an interesting story. The importer ordered those rifles marked as National Match, to play off of the 'pre-ban' PolyTech reputation. It is a MAK-91, similar to an NHM-91, which is a 20" AK variant. They were made in the factory which contracted PolyTech rifles from 1989 'til the 1993 ban.

Actual NM guns have a 21.5" barrel & are factory drilled for a scope mount that was never imported.

Jay's Pacific Enterprises may still be in business, last I checked they were importing airsoft & Chinese black powder guns.



It's a good solid rifle that should shoot well.

A Chote stock will fit that and give it the Dragonov look. The milled NHM-91's are rare.

I put the choate draganov style stock on mine, much more comfortable to shoot.

I like the CHOATE stock, it fits perfect and works well, the grip feels much beter than the Chinese wooden thembhole stock

the stock length is also adjustable by removing spacers in the butt pad

I too prefer the Choate in looks and feel (mostly the fore end) but have used the ATI's as well. One of the issues with these is finding a better stock as many do not like the OEM stock.

I respectfully disagree with the above. The more likely explanation is that the Chinese used the same parts (Polytech receiver, FCG, etc.) and just threw in a slightly shorter barrel than the actual pre-ban NM.

Comparing this rifle to an NHM-91 is a bit unfair as the latter is stamped, has a flimsier bipod, and a much grittier FCG.

The Chinese characters interpret as "Precision Degree Gun". I have it's sister in a SKS rifle.

Here are a few pics of my baby. I've really enjoyed shooting this MAK-91. Sadly I just put her on the block @ Gunbroker.

If you go with the Choate stock, you won't have to add any more US parts because it's a replacement thumbhole sporter stock.
