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.

I saw one at a gun show. I believe it was a Bubba's basement conversion, however. It was a pre-ban, and drilled too big. The hole had a pin. I saw a guy eyeing it over. I said, "Do you want to go to jail?"

He said, "Why would I go to jail?"

I said, "It's got the full auto pin hole."

He marched off like I offended him :roll: . Just trying to help a brother out.
