[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 2647922, member: 6146"] "MAK-90" is short for "modified AK, 1990" - so all MAKs are post ban. As for 922r, I wouldn't waste my time worrying about it. It applies to "manufacture", not possession, so buying a rifle already so modified is no big deal. No one has ever been convicted of breaking that law, and the .gov would have a harder time trying to prove that you broke the law than you would proving someone before you modified it to "standard" configuration. Add to that, I'd bet my paycheck that the vast majority of LEOs know little to nothing about it (and likely wouldn't care if they did). As for the deal, you did fine; 7.26x39 commercial ammo averages around 25¢ a round, and that being the long-ago banned Chinese stuff, it often sells for more. So if you figure around $300 for the ammo, a $600 early import MAK is pretty decent - especially since it's already been relieved of the hideous thumbhole stock. Looks like 4 Chinese flat-back mags, and maybe a 20 round Hunky? Even more value there. I'd pull that AK-74-style brake and put a slant brake on it. Otherwise, it's a great example of the AK-type rifle. [/QUOTE]
