One of my new Yugo M57 had a surprise in it.

I just received 2 Yugo M57's from J&G Sales. As I was getting all of the cosmo out of them I noticed something was carved into the inside of one of the grips.
It reads: "Mr. Sjenica" and "MLCC". Is this common with C&R pistols. Anyone have any idea what MLCC could stand for?

J&G lists these as VG condition, so I was expecting all matching numbers, but the slide on one of them matches, but with a 1-xxxxx. Does that mean the slide was replaced or repaired at some point?

That's freakin' cool...I have nothing to say on topic though.

My M57 had someone's name written in the holster. It is easy to forget many C&Rs were someone else's gun. Very cool, Mr. Sjenica.

It makes you wonder:

• If the firearm failed them when they needed it the most?
• Was the firearm staring down a family member in a past conflict?
