I just received a new to me Romak 991 AK-47 in 7.62x39. This is my first AK and I picked it up off GB.com from a shop in Steam Boat Spgs Colorado. The ad and shop described it as a Romanian AK with synthetic Bulgarian Furniture. New, never fired, still in the original box, buy it now was $350. With $35 S&H and $35 FLL = $420 total, I feel I did okay on it. Hats off to Scott at Austin Gun Liquidators in Round Rock for making this whole transaction painless.
I have done some research on it and this is what I know. It has an Ohio Ordinance Works stamped receiver on it, no mag dimples but has small internal plates welded in around the mag well, no cut or grinding marks what so ever. It was originally sold by Intrac Arms in Knoxville TN who are now out of business, their instruction manual was included with it. It was made in 1999 per the SN, says Roman/Cugir above the receiver, as well as "D.I.G" Va Beach Va which I believe stands for Dominion Import Group. Has a Krebs style muzzle brake welded on and the barrel appears to be chrome lined and factory fresh. It came with a green webbed sling, 10 round double stack mag, 2 steel mag followers, 2 steel mag bottom plates, and a oiling bottle. The Intrac Arms manual has several color pictures showing it being disassembled with a awful looking Dragonv style wooden stock and fore-grip and it says it should have a single stack mag.
Now on to the questions, is the OOW receiver original? Everything I have read so far says it should not have or accept a double stack mag. However the 4 steel 30rd DS mags I bought fit it just fine and feed just fine. (Have not had a chance to fire it yet) However the 2 Tapco poly mags I bought will not fit. I assume this is common with the Tapco poly mags but I was hoping they would work. Since we are at 2011 and the receiver is US made I believe I am still good from a legal stand point. I know the synthetic furniture is not US and I plan on changing it anyway. Does anyone know anything else about this that I might be missing? Thank you in advance.
