That sounds logical, but are you sure you can date anything other than a Sino or arsenal /26\?

You can't date anything but a /26\ that way.

As others said, factory 26 is the only one the formula works to determine build date.  The many dozen other factories have not/will not provide s/n - date information.

Principle reason these cannot be C&R.  Eventually these 70s - 80s SKSs will be 50 years old.....not for a while.
