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,

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?
