Hi folks, I've just joined but have lurked and enjoyed your group for some time. Anyway, I have read on this site and others-(linx310s--great site too btw)-that the last two digits in the serial # of a WASR-10 represents the year it was made. Well, I picked up a 'NEW' WASR-10 at my little, old local shop last Saturday and the serial number on the gun AND paperwork is AK-3995-81.(EIGHTY-one). On the left side of the receiver reads from top to bottom exactly:: AK-3995-81 GP WASR-10 Cal.

May 8, 2013 - There is only a importers marking that states R.A.I., Woodland Hills, Ca. And Made in China and AK47S. The Serial number is 8700XXX.

7.62x39mm ********************* On the right side of the rifle is:: Made By Romarms/SA/CUGIR IN ROMANIA IMPORTED CA.GEORGIA.VT. **************************** Wassup guys? Is my gun mis-stamped?

Any help would be appreciated.Sonny. I've never seen an imported Romanian AK with the serial number on the receiver yet, always on the trunnion. Haven't really inspected many WASRs, though. But also from linx310's site which you must have overlooked. One notable feature about the late 2005 - present models of WASRs is that they are being constructed from part-kits de-milled from Real Romanian AKMs (unissued) produced in the late 70s to mid 80s. The barrel and trunnion (if that is what you see the serial number on) could be from old demilled AKs that were made for the Romanian military and rebuilt on a WASR receiver. This would explain the serial number with the Romanian AK date stamp on the trunnion.

How about some pictures? The SAR rifles I have seen had the last four digits of the serial number on the trunnion marked with the entire year XXXXXX-2000 etc. The Romanian G kits which were military rifles marked with the last two digits on the trunnion for the serial number denoting year.
