picked one up today dressed in Black
got DC Industries stamped on the receiver

model GP-1975 AK47 is built from a Romanian parts kit using a brand new barrel and receiver. The rifle uses brand new American made compliance parts, including Tapco furniture. These are great AK clones, very reliable and fun to shoot

Hello all, first time on this forum....thought I would see what you all thought....I just picked up a 1994 MAK 90 (Norinco) 7.62x39, with the threaded barrel, a 75 rd drum mag, 1 30 rd mag, 2-5 round mags and 1200 rds. of ammo for $800.00. Did I do good?

That's a STEAL! The ammo alone is around $280-300, then the drum (depending on style) is $150-300, so you got a MAK-90 for around $200-350... A STEAL!

Especially since bottom-of-the-barrel WASR-10's are going for around $500-600.

Just a car - The crate of ammo I have says the rounds are made in Russia and that they are HP (hollow points) I assume. Is there anything special I need to know before firing these?

Thanks,

Hayseed

You're correct on "HP" meaning hollow point. When you look at the tip of the bullet, it should look like there's a hold in the tip.

What brand are they? There are quite a few Russian-made ammo brands: Silver Bear, Brown Bear, Gold Bear, Wolf, etc... and they are all non-corrosive, but if yours is military surplus (not likely, being HP) it is possible it's corrosive and that would be the only thing to worry about, but it's easy to deal with that if they are (as unlikely as it is).

A picture or better descriptor of the brand and/or crate would be helpful in identifying the ammo for ya. I highly doubt there's anything more you need to know than "load, fire, rinse, repeat."

How would you classify the STG-2000 C?

[Para Cassatt]

Has anyone tried on one?

Models include Polytech Legend and more (please contribute and I will add them.) Other models made to comply with 1989 import ban are Polytech and Norinco MAK-90, MAK-91, NHM-90, NHM-91, BWK and such. These came with thumbhole stocks and no threaded muzzles or bayonet lugs. Also made a Norinco Hunter based loosely on the Valmet Hunter with a two piece classic sporting stock. These various models were chambered primarily in 7.62x39mm, but also came in 223.

Although I'm coming to this thread a bit late and not to be too picky, but my Norinco MAK-90 is marked 5.56, and can handle higher pressure than .223.

i have seen saiga rifles in 308,but not in 30-06 is this something new. sigfellow

[BattleRifleG3]

The Saiga WAS imported in 30-06, but everyone who said "Ooh, a Saiga in 30-06 would be so cool! I'd love to buy one!" changed their mind, and it didn't sell much. A great pity, because it crushes the Rem 7400 and kin in price and reliability.

I thankfully managed to get one, and made the only sporting config wood stock that I am aware of. Pictorial Writeup: Saiga-100 in 30-06 - forum.Saiga-12.com

I have a very modest collection and I want to add the AK. Any help would be appreciated. Also, what are a couple of brands I should stay away from? Thank you Doc

My Saiga carbine type 3 goes $429.00 with one ten round mag. It only weighs just under four pounds. Reliable, accurate, functions well, ammo is cheap, sights are visible, trigger is not bad. Bring on the zombies.
