Yes, all of the Romanian kits have the red "G" on them. There's been a lot of discussion on this board and others as to the meaning behind the "G". There seems to be about 1001 theories on it out there. Most think it stands for Garda.

Actually the first wave of Romy kits did not have the "G" on them. I have some of both.

Do the kits without the G have the black stripe on the stock? What are the years of manufacture of the ones with out the G?

They're most likely semi-automatic versions. More discussion here..

I know with two of the kits i got that had disconnectors, the disconnectors were semi-auto versions. The tail was there, but it was too short, and they were too wide to allow the use of a rate reducer.

However, the two kits from dpharms came with rate reducers, but no disconnector, so i have no idea about those.

But still, even with all the other full auto stuff in there, if you trim the disconnector it will be semi-auto no matter what. This would explain why they could have been semi-auto rifles, but still have all the full auto parts. Why tool up for new parts for your semi-autos when all you have to do is modify one part?

I'd be interested in knowing what the arsenal mark on the trunnion is as well. Most of the G kits have an empty triangle.

I've got a '79 with arrow in triangle arsenal mark. It has the G on the RSB and the black band on the stock.

Maaybe they put it there just to drive us crazy trying to figure it out. And they are all laughing about it as we speak.
