OMG!

[Buckaroobonsai]

I got a good deal from boulderite on a sweet Norinco MAK-90 Sporter. Threw a cheapo TAPCO AR style adjustable stock on it and took it to the Bennett range this past weekend, where I proceeded to hit torso sized steel CONSISTENTLY with just the factory irons, out to 175 yards! No B.S. I was there with (2) other forum members who were able to do it as well. I loved the way it shot, but wasn't crazy about the way it looked. At the suggestion of Jim, I contacted zteknik for a set of wooden furniture. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I get his package today in the mail. Inside was a "chinese style" refinished set, that I just finished fitting. OMG!

I think I just died and went to AK Heaven...

Wow that thing looks sexier then anything I have :)
Surprisingly Norincos were known for out of the box accuracy!!
I got to get out and get to the range with you one of these days..

Zteknik did a stock set for my SGL-21 he does top notch work. My SGL-21 is looking bad ass now. That MAK is looking bad ass too. AK's were ment to have wood not plastic.

[cfortune]

Damn, came out lookin nice!

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Looks awesome. I am one of the (2) he mentioned that can attest to the consistency of this rifle. Looks good Randy, great work zteknik!

Without going too far off topic, is this kind of accuracy good for a medium powered rifle with iron sights? Of this barrel length, of this caliber, of this make? I know very little about this kind of rifle. Can you elaborate? It is very pretty though.

This is a statement my wife would make...

Quoted for further blackmail.

200 meters is not problem with iron's They are 300yd guns all day long, on a good day. A bad day, save the ammo and bring out the 22's. Like any firearm it's the shooter as much the gun.
The RPK's / what ever 20" 7.82x39's an 8mm's were doing 400 out at pawnee one weekend. Bob knows the correct designations ask him.

BB check the firing pin the stamped norinco's usually had the spring loaded fp's. Once you get bored with that unit call me.

ALSO another +1 for Ztek. I have a few sets of furniture he re-did for us, very happy campers. Impressed a skinny nyker could rub wood that smooth[ROFL1]

You should see what my palm looks like.....[LOL]
If you guys have sets that need refinishing hit me up in a pm.I do trades as well :)

[jreifsch80]

I jewed a disassembled mak90 from bobby z in trade for another rifle I expect it to shoot decently. Bob, I like the romy hardwood set you used, I think I'll have you refinish a set for my mak too. Yes bob does great work, I've been trading for his wood furniture since the old Gunco.net days years ago lol

[zteknik]

I hope it shoot's good Justin,I think the guy I got it from never shot it-just took all the components off to de ban it and left it like that.
I dunno,I never was into the Chicoms.Being a Polack I,m biased with the Polish ak's :D

You know where I live,just drop it off.... :)

Damn,has it been that long??No wonder my supply has dwindled....[facepalm]

I am no AK-47 expert, but have owned several from the cheapest WASR to the top of the line Arsenals, so have my own opinions.
History wise, the AK-47 was designed in 1947, (hence the "47" designation), to be a simple, reliable automatic rifle that could be manufactured quickly and cheaply, using mass production methods. Looser tolerances mean better reliability, but less accuracy. The short sight radius means a little off in aiming translates to a bigger affect on impact. Most people use the cheapest, steel cased ammo they can find, because the AK eats it up and still goes "bang" just about every time. The majority of AK's imported into the country were inexpensive because the workmanship varied from decent to questionable.
All these factors contribute to it being inherently less accurate then more modern rifles like the AR-15/M-16. Yes, a trained operator can shoot it well, but honestly, it was never intended to be the most accurate rifle on the battlefield. It's tough, it's reliable, it's affordable, it's bad ass looking, yet simple to operate and maintain. With a decently built one and some training, it has always been considered "good enough" when it comes to accuracy. That being said, I love mine!

[Awesom]

I think it's funny that on the same day new gun restriction laws are proposed, I score a couple of Romo 40 rounders!

[zteknik]

Now your just rubbing it in..
What you need now is a Chineese drum!!

[jreifsch80]

quite a while ago i scored a bunch of soviet 40's from jensens lol i'm glad they thought they were romys ;)

[jreifsch80]

i have some chinese drums though they are for ar's :(

[Dave]

Damn that is nice, I'd get something like that for mine, but not really worth it for a Romanian made cheap one.

[boulderite]

Looking great !!!!!!!!
