Over the years I have seen many people ask about the Chinese MAK-90 rifles that came into the country in the early 90s, and were subsequently "collected" by the BATFE.

Special thanks to "Dutchkma" and his personal first-hand experience with one of the "special" rifles. These pictures are probably the only ones in existence which closely detail the specifications.

These MAK-90 rifles were declared "contraband" by the the BATFE because of the third pin hole in the receiver. Even though they had a rivit installed in the third hole, they are still contraband because of the third hole. "Once a machinegun, always a machinegun."

I actually handled one of these back in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the local gunshow and a dealer friend of mine said to stay away from them because they were "ATF Bait."

If you run across one of these rifles for sale.....admire it.....handle it......but don't buy it. There is no way it will ever be legal to own.

There is a Vendor at National Gun Day shows every time that has one of these.... no rivet just an open hole..... :shock: I always called him the shaker
cause the first time I saw it he made sure I saw the extra hole by shaking it at me...... he has it every show for the last three years.... I just figured he was ATF.....I bet If you bought it you would get to meet his buddies on the way out.....

He says its a type 56 early import made semi by removing parts...
He won't talk to me anymore, I went by and acted like I was really interested in buying it :goof: at couple shows in a row....now he seems to know me buy sight......
