NHM-91 Made in China by
Norinco Cal 7.62x39 CSI ONT CA

NHM-91
were made with a rivet where the rear tang of the magazine
hits the receiver. Most owners removed this so that
standard AK47 magazines would work without modification.

Like all Chinese AK47s
these are sturdy, well made and overbuilt. So with
the long barrel and weight these are often called RPKs

It might
look appealing to someone, but this has really lowered
the value of this fairly rare AK47 which has not been
imported in many years. Replacement parts may be available,
but this is a serious gunsmithing job to replace the
parts damaged to install this optical scope. The NHM91
did not have the soviet optics mounting plate on the
left side of the receiver so the owner must have decided
this wobbly option was 'good enough' and took the grinder
to the rear sight block. The rifle is shootable in
this condition, but worth much less to a collector.
Take another look at the grinders effects on the rear
sight block not to mention the destroyed rear sight..
why not just remove it?? I guess this guy was in a
hurry or just cared that little for his rifle

Stocks on the NHM-91 are
made by Bishop or Boyd and are made of birch
wood or hackberry

Handguards on the NHM91
are a unique shape with no cut outs for heat loss

The butt of the NHM91 stock
looks more like a hunting rifle or shotgun than an
AK47
