Back in the day, when I worked in Iraq, I encountered a lot of guns that I could not identify right away. They all had "P" on the rear sight and "SAR" on the selector. All signs of a Romanian made AK. But it had a crutch and arabic numbers on the trunnion. Later I realised those were Egyptian weapons.
Why a lot of Maadis have ROMANIAN markings on the selector and rear sight? |

| Your links don't work. But the P sights and SAR markings are Egyptian export rifles, as opposed to Egyptian rifles marked for domestic use. The SAR markings are considered "universal" as opposed to having country specific characters. |

Maybe Romanians helped with running the factory for sometime, or something like that. Cause everyone else has specific markings. |
