Could anyone enlighten me as to the approximate build date and model on this PSA AK? PSA doesn't seem to have a serial number lookup available to the public, and I've not been able to find another example of a PSA AK with similar markings.

The model is PSAK-S with a 4 digit serial number, that being AKS0049XX. It's a side folder. It's not marked with any "GF" number anywhere. The PSA logo is on the right front of the receiver, rather than on the bottom with the model number and serial number. There is a star on the left side of the front trunnion next to the trunnion serial number. The only other markings are the serial numbers in the typical locations.

Markings on bottom of receiver...

Here is your Pic OP.  


That is an early one based off serial and that it is PSA and not Soviet Arms.  @GamecockOperator @panzersergeant or Josiah @palmettostatearmory might can help you more.

My closest swag would be sometime in 2020 but no later than 2021.

Star on the trunnion would be a gen2 (GB2).  Puts it around late 2016 up through like 2018.  I wanna say the star were on the earlier GB2, and then was dropped on the later ones.  So closer to early 2017 is my guess.
