So my uncle gave me a rifle and said I can keep it or sell it and to be honest I know a little about them but not a lot. It’s a Norinco Mak 90 in 5.56.

Now I always hear things like”pre-ban” and I know values change but I honestly lack the knowledge about the value of this rifle and how I would even label it if I was to sell it.

attached are some pics if anyone can give me a better understanding of the history of this rifle and value I would appreciate it.

btw it is straightcut receiver and the homemade wine is not for sale.

How many mags?
0 that’s why I’m debating to sell or not. I hear mags are a big issue and standard Chinese are like $100 a piece

Interesting, your Uncle gave you the rifle, as in you didn't pay for it, and you complain about spending $100 for a mag to make it useful?

You have a very nice very early post-Bush1-ban rifle and most collectors would be thrilled to have that in their collection.

Personally as a collector, I recommend not changing a thing, keep that stock set as I believe it was made by Choate and specified by the importer. Very rare setup!
I complain about mags because all my guns I like to use. I’m not a collector really and if I keep this I’m going to end up beatin the piss out of it. I don’t mind buying a couple mags at $100 but I usually like to buy reliable mags and lots of them. I’m probably going to end up selling it to someone who will appreciate it more.

WOW!!! This thread went off!
So I wanted to add something I found. My uncle while cleaning out his basement found 4 mags. They are 5.56 mags that fit this AK. Are these Chinese?
There is also a 10 rounder that fits very weird but it fits. I have to give it a good push to click in.

here are some photos
