They came in country with the bayonet lug milled off and an un-threaded barrel/muzzle. Most people just thread the muzzle and stop there. Some replaced the gas block with a NOS pre ban part upon the crime bill ban sunset. The only nations to produce an exact AKM pattern rifle were Russia, Poland, Egypt, Romania, and E. Germany. The only military factory non NFA AKM full feature rifles that made it into the US market before the Crime Bill neutering requirements was the Maadi imported by Styer. But Ironically it never sold well, because it was a $800-900 gun in the late 80's early 90's when there was no barrier to buying a full featured AK and nobody wanted to pay that much. Today Styer Maadi pre-crime bill full feature AKMs go for 2.5 to 3 grand. The only military factory AKM pattern rifles coming in after the crime bill (without bayo lugs and threaded barrels) were the ACC/Intrac/PARS Maadis and Romanian SARs.

2005 saw the addition of "no high capacity magazine capability" added to the import ban so the days of military Y X X receivers with the mag well milled in the Egyptian/Romanian factories ended and so did the SAR/Maadi series....and the days of the single stack magazine well, non-dimpled WASR and Century Maadi made with a combination of Egyptian and Chinese parts began. Century Arms opened the mag well to accept double stack mags...using an angle grinder in the hands of a blind folded minimum wage worker, to hear some tell it, and so began the internet theory that all Romanian and Egyptian AKMs are crap.
now I am more edumicated on the topic. It’s amazing how the gov can just change so many things in the gun industries With a stroke of a pen
