1/23/2009 8:47:55 PM
I just came upon an AK...it's all unmatched numbers. Anyway...can someone help me ID this. On the front trunnion on the left side there was a triangle that's been mostly ground off...also the 1972 is sligtly ground...serial number starts with 1972 DM 4***. What do I have? I was told it was a non-G Romy or east german. I don't know though...I've only held Yugos. Yugos are stout. This one seems like it was made from a thinner metal. I almost thought it was an airsoft. It came w/ plastic buttstock & handguards.

Photos speak volumes but it sounds like a Romanian kit.

Romanian kit with East German furniture. The German front sight is different than the one pictured. Check to see if the G has been ground off.

This is correct.

so this is a romanian...what symbol is supposed to be in the triangle on the front trunnion?

You'd probably see an arrow (without the fletchings) in that triangle if it was visible. Looks like it's been worn down and lightly ground off.
