NHM-91 (7.62x39)

Bubba's Review:

7.62x39 mm Stamped Receiver, "Post Ban rifle". Marketed in the U.S. by ChinaSports Inc, basically a regular AK with a 20 inch barrel

Manufacturer Description:

imported in 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm(223) calibers. The 223 caliber rifles are pretty rare as very small numbers were imported. All had stamped receivers and 20" heavy barrels with a short muzzle nut tack welded on.

The early imported rifles had the folding bipod with adjustable legs attached but later imports had it unattached in the box. The bipod has a thumbscrew on each leg that allow the legs to be adjusted for length. The only problem with them is that you just can't tighten the thumbscrew up enough with hand to keep it from loosing up and the leg collapsing during firing.

NHM-91 rifles came with a rivet where the rear tang of the magazine hits the receiver when the mag catch holds it in the rifle. I had to hold the mag catch lever back to get the picture. In the picture the arrow shows where I ground down the head of the rivet, it is the shiny spot.

The magazines that came with these rifles had the tang milled out to clear the rivet when it was inserted into the rifle. Here is a picture of a 5rd and 10rd mag that came with one of my rifles. Modified 30rd magazines also came with these rifles but most were removed from the box by dealers sorry bastards) for sale separate at a higher price than standard 30rd magazines.

The rivet was not required by law or any import rules it was just something that was done by the mfg. or importer. Removal of it breaks no laws or anything else. I have seen NHM-91 rifles new in the box with the rivet in tight, loose, installed but not riveted, and missing. This rivet has no function other than to prevent the use of regular AK magazines that are not milled out to clear it.

Stocks on the NHM-91 were the same as the NHM-90,mfg. by Bishop or Boyd. But some were made of birch wood but were the same pattern as the hackberry one.

Review:	The Polytech barreled versions can do sub 2MOA (5 shot strings) with the Norinco Factory 31 FMJ. The Standard models will be Sub 3MOA in my experience. Add and additional 1 or 2 MOA if using former Soviet steel cased ammo. I have no idea where a previous review said they cannot use Russian or East German mags. Mine use them just fine.
Pros:	Double hook trigger is excellent. Longer sight radius than regular AK. Heats up slower during rapid fire compare to a regular AK variant.
Cons:	Thumbhole stock. Handguard is not directly compatable with East Bloc RPK furniture sets. It can be done, but takes some wood working. This conversion will require 922(r) US made compliance parts as well. No side mount scope rail. Removing Gas Piston for US made 922(r) upgrade is a pain in the butt.
