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 of these at the Little Rock fun show today. The guy didn’t know what he had. He clamed to be a licensed FFL he talked a lot of shit about all he know about Chicom weapons but he was stile trying to sell this rifle. I picked it up and looked at it just to make sure that what I thought was there was and sure enough third hole with a long rivet all the way though the receiver. I sure hope no one ends up getting caught with it.
