Hi folks, I've just joined but have lurked and enjoyed your group for some time. 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.
Sep 03, 2016 AK-47, AK-103 (manufactured. The proliferation of this weapon is reflected by more than just numbers. The AK-47 is included in the flag of Mozambique and its. The Chinese Norinco Type 56 is a variant of the Russian designed and produced AK-47. Serial number marked on. The Polytech serial numbers reveal the factory.
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?

Haven't really inspected many WASRs, though. But also from linx310's site which you must have overlooked. One notable feature about the late 2005 - present models of WASRs is that they are being constructed from part-kits de-milled from Real Romanian AKMs (unissued) produced in the late 70s to mid 80s. The barrel and trunnion (if that is what you see the serial number on) could be from old demilled AKs that were made for the Romanian military and rebuilt on a WASR receiver. This would explain the serial number with the Romanian AK date stamp on the trunnion. How about some pictures?
The SAR rifles I have seen had the last four digits of the serial number on the trunnion marked with the entire year XXXXXX-2000 etc. The Romanian G kits which were military rifles marked with the last two digits on the trunnion for the serial number denoting year.

The MAK-90 is a Chinese factory built AK model exported to the USA from China from 1990 through 1994 by two Chinese export companies:. Pravoslavnie ikoni visokogo razresheniya. Following the import ban in 1989, the Chinese developed an AK which met the 'sporting purposes' clause. (The earlier AKs were banned because of their 'evil' features: pistol grips, folding stocks, threaded muzzles and bayonets.) The new model was basically an AK with a wood thumb-hole stock and no bayonet lug (although you do sometimes see MAK-90 receivers with under-folder holes drilled and filled). Around a million MAK-90s were exported to the USA in the early 90s.
