Digging in the back of the safe, pulled out what I was told was a Maadi when I took it on trade some years ago.
Im not finding any useful information on the receiver markings and am hoping you can help. Is it a Maadi? What's the receiver? What's the value of a 30 year old kit? Thanks  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Definitely a Maadi kit build. Not sure on the receiver, the spot welds on the side look different than most.

It’s a kit maadi ... I’m not sure if the front trunnion writing has been cloned over in the states as I see strong western influences on the caliber scribing .
Is the rear sight in Arabic bud ? Is the barrel original? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By seekwolf: On your front trunion their should be some Arabic writing . Do a little google translation and it’ll tell you what year the kit is . Then we’ll see how old the kit is . 30 years ago is probable. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AEnemaBay: The trunnion has a 1988 date on it. OP, it looks like you have a really nice Egyptian kit with desireable all Arabic parts. I would personally replace that receiver with one that's more "correct" (those spot welds are disgusting), but I realize that's not as feasible if you have to send it out. That’s the same year as my maadi Arabic military kit OP assuming it has a us barrel and built by JRA who is not anything to write home about in terms of premium builders you still have great value in just the Egyptian parts |
