Mitchell M90 info requested ... (pics from Montan)

jsergovic
I heard of this Kalashnikov coming into the country in California at the time they were declared assault weapons by the State of California. Mitchell supposedly electro-penciled out the AK-47 (or whatever it was) and inscribed M-90, thereby side-stepping the ban. In addition, a metal plate was welded onto the receiver preventing the owner from using the "full auto" selector lever.

Any definitive background would be appreciated.
And the promised pictures: In the second you can see the rude attempt to apply new model numbers. this rifle is in Montana, I didn't get a chance to closely examine it.

    There listed in the B B, imported for a short time in the early 90's, prior to the Yugoslav Civil War. Thumbhole stock etc.

    As far as the metal plate is concerned, it's noted that, "this model was subjected to modification due to ATF regulations after arrival in the US".

    Thanks much. If you're ever in Fresno, drive a few more miles for a thick steak.

    Somehow, someway that rotten situation described by Mark should be cleaned up.

    Quote "Somehow government decided that the Constitutional Bill of Rights has become the Bill of "Suggested" Rights and are to be rationed to the citizens as the power elite sees fit"

    Wow, just when I think I begin to understand the basics of gun laws there's more crap to baffle the mind. You are a wealth of knowledge Mark! Thanks for further explaining it. [;)]

    This shouldn't come as a suprise, but it did for some reason: On the history channel the other night, they said since 1934 only one murder has been committed with a legally owned fully-automatic (and presumably select-fire) weapon and it was by a policeman.
    70 years, one murder by fully automatic weapons and it was a cop... Repeal the NFA laws! [:)]
