The cool thing about these is that there are typically threads under the welded on muzzle sleeve. They were modified to postban configuration and then renamed NHM90. These were preban rifles that got caught in customs when Bush I stabbed us in the back. Since you're considering Chinese AK's, you might also try to look for a NHM90. They are all good quality rifles, but we'd pretty much need to know exactly which variant you have in order to determine how much it's worth.

'When you hear semi-automatic rifle, a lot of people assume it's a high powered rifle but that's not always the case' says Longview gun expert Craig Clotz. The common misconception is the 'semi-automatic' is equal to some high powered assault weapon, but any number of weapons, small or large caliber, can be semi-automatic. Instead, it was a similar gun, a semi automatic, the Norinco Mak-90. Investigators say it was not an AK-47 assault riffle, as originally thought.
