Hi folks, I've just joined but have lurked and enjoyed your group for some time. Its great.
Anyway, I have read on this site and others-(linx310s--great site too btw)-that the last two digits in the serial # of a WASR-10 represents the year it was made. Well, I picked up a 'NEW' WASR-10 at my little, old local shop last Saturday and the serial number on the gun AND paperwork is AK-3995-81..(EIGHTY-one).
On the left side of the receiver reads from top to bottom exactly::
AK-3995-81
GP WASR-10
Cal. 7.62x39mm
*********************
On the right side of the rifle is::
Made By Romarms/SA/CUGIR
IN ROMANIA
IMPORTED CA.GEORGIA.VT.

Wassup guys? I'm stumped. Is my gun mis-stamped? Any help would be appreciated......Sonny

Maadi Ak-47 Serial Number
If you are going to reweld the trunnion markings (I think there is a legality issue with doing this), the correct way for the AKM would be an arrow in triangle for Izhevsk arsenal, and a star for a Tula arsenal, followed by the year, then serial number.
