The damn thing had an original Romanian Trunnion block on it and was dated 1967! It had the romanian symbol of the pointed up arrow within the triangle.... I couldnt believe it. I took a pic of it with my camera phone.

So is Romania using old parts to build WASRS???? I wish my Wasr had the original markings like this one did- It was $525 OTD...

Yes they are. I saw several last weekend at a gunshow that had numbers ranging from the late 60's to the mid 70's.

Didn't think they would use old parts.

Very cool.... I wish I could grab one with those markings.. Way better then my 2003 marked one :sad:

Didn't think they would use old parts.

The Romanians have been mixing in surplused new and used parts since they starting exporting in 1997. Current RPK rifles are built up demilled parts.

My new Wasr 10/63 has markings like that. The receiver is not dimpled but it looks like a great rifle nonetheless. The quality of these Wasrs are much better than those from a few years ago.
