ID Front Trunnion

[fivepointstar]

Just a little help with ID'ing Front Tunnion. I'm getting conflicting information

is this Romanian or Russian

I think the Romanian would have made it easier with something other than an arrow in a triangle. Perhaps "Dracula" or Nadia Comaneci

Looks like Romanian to me, but I'm not an AK guy, so I could be wrong.

1982 - I'll take it!!

It is Russian.

Although Romanian and Russian markings look similar, the arrow on the inside is much more detailed. Note the flechette at the bottom noting its military nature as a military arrow plus the symbol of the Izhmash arsenal.

The Romanian arrow is just a directional arrow that is much more crudely stamped with no flechette that is connected directly to the triangle itself which the Russian stamp does not touch the triangle at all like the one shown in the picture.


This is a Romanian stamp on a WASR.
