Norinco MAK-90 Semi-Automatic Rifle 7.62x39

The Norinco MAK-90 is a classic Chinese semi-automatic AK-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. Built as a civilianized version of the Type 56 (China’s AKM clone), it was imported into the United States in the early 1990s to meet import requirements of the time.

This example retains the original one-piece wooden thumbhole stock and matching wood handguards that define the MAK-90. The rifle features the traditional long-stroke gas piston system, fixed rear sight, and standard AK magazine well that accepts common 7.62x39 magazines. MAK-90s are well-regarded for their reliability, solid construction, and generally smoother triggers compared to many other surplus AK variants.

Key Features:

• Caliber: 7.62x39mm
• Action: Semi-automatic, gas-operated
• Original wooden thumbhole stock and handguards
• Stamped receiver (typical of most MAK-90s)
• Accepts standard AK-pattern magazines
• Classic early-1990s Chinese import configuration

A solid, historically significant AK-platform rifle that remains popular for range use and collecting.
