Russian arsenal, I think it's Kirov (or something like that) but I'm not positive.

The "arrow" mark leads me to believe it's from the Russian 'Izhevsk' factory.

Yes its a russian topcover .
I had a Vector RPD and it had a Bulgarian top cover . Had to send it back for repairs and they replaced the top cover (as well as a mess of other parts) with a Russian marked cover like yours . Its from the 'Izhevsk' factory as Osprey said. Have you fired it yet ? DOHHHHH I'm an idiot lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I don't belive that that is Izhevsk. They have always been an arrow in triagle. That is the Kovrov arsenal stamp. The time frame is right for them.
BTW a sweet piece! |
