After an importation ban was put on the books in 1989, Norinco continued exporting a sporting configuration version of the Chinese AK-47, called the MAK-90, until the Federal Assault Weapon Ban in 1994. A quantity of leftover milled Polytech factory 386 rifles were also retrofitted to meet the stipulations as well so that they could still be sold to the US. These scarce rifles retain much of the quality of the iconic Legend Series rifles despite their "MAK-90 SPORTER" designation. This Sportarms imported example features a rugged blued milled receiver marked on the right with the new "MAK-90 SPORTER" designation, the "SPORTER" added in electropencil likely by the importer. Manufactured with an unthreaded barrel, hooded post front sight, and tangent rear. Standard wood forend and handguard with a sporting style thumbhole Monte Carlo stock with rubber recoil pad. Externally visible numbers matching. Rifle is accompanied by an original Styrofoam box with 3 total magazines, manual, sling, tools, and oil bottle. CONDITION: Near excellent. Nearly all of the factory blued finish is retained throughout with handling marks. Stocks are fine although the finish has crazed. Mirror bore, possibly unfired. Accessories are very fine. Box has a section of loss at the butt of the rifle.
