[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What Country is my AK from?

Posted: 12/21/2005 11:50:11 AM EDT

I have a Vector built AK. I know they use brand new Polish and Hungarian kits. How can I tell which one it is? I found markings, but I don't have a way to take pictures right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you describe the marking on the forward trunnion? That'll help.

From what a few people have told me some of the newer Vector Ak's are mixmasters of parts. But then again, you hear a lot of things at gunshops..

The markings are as follows(bare with me): I IV "backwards 7" a circle with a "Y" thru it.

I looked in my books. A circle with an 11 in it is Polish. But I don't see marks like yours in the table. But the table is incomplete. I don't even see a Hungarian on in there.

Can you get us a photo of the markings?

That would help a lot. Sounds like something interesting.
