Ok, well I picked up my first AK47 today, cost me a bit but it seems worth it.. anyway, the receiver is marked: AK47S 7.62X39MM MADE IN CHINA It also has the marking R.A.I. Woodland Hills.Ca. Im guessing that thats the importer. It has a slant muzzle break, looks like the bayo lugs are intact but they could be ground off, I dont have anything to compare them to... stamped receiver, all wood furniture, serial number starts with 87... any info at all would be helpful, i.e. preban/postban, manufacturer, links... anything.. thanks |
| RAI was an importer in CA. The gun wass most likely manufactured in factory 66, and exported by Norinco. It is a preban gun (pre 89 that is), built in 87, hence the 87 in the serial number. I am presently working on a preban identification guide, my work is about 85% complete. Check back between Christmas, and New Years I should have the web page up with full detail, and pics to boot! |
yup...what I have has to do it get a piece of thick leather, put it over the end of the break, and apply some vise-grip force. DO REMEBER though...as stated above the are REVERSE threads. |
