Norinco MAK-90 Sporter lower receiver substitute?

[Tenchi]

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a replacement lower receiver that is compatible with a Norinco Mak-90 Sporter upper?

thanks

What the hell are you smoking?

Do you mean "replaceable receiver?" There is no "lower" or "upper" receiver on AKs.

The big difference with the MAK-90 1.5mm receiver and standard AK 1mm receivers is the inside dimensions. You can use a standard 1mm receiver and shim your trunnions .5mm on each side to use your MAK parts.

the receiver rivet patters are different as well.

The obvious question is... WHY? Did you run over the old one with a car or something?

Yes these are specifically designed for chinese guns. You still have to drill the trunnion holes yourself.
turbothis (his forum name) is well known on the ak forums as a good guy with great skills.

If you want to roll your own this flat is the one you would use but you will need to invest in some tooling
to accomplish this.

Or you can use a 1mm flat and shim your trunnions.
