Hey guys, I have a couple questions to start things.  I have done searches and looked at the info pages, but I could not find an answer.  Question 1, where is the date stamped on the receiver for a Norinco?  Question 2, the date that is stamped, is it the manufactored date or the import date?

Thanks for your assistance.

the year of import is incorporated into the serial number and appears on post-ban imports.

it will appear as:

xxxxxx97 or xxxxxx-04

96xxxxxx or 02-xxxxxx

xxxxxx-1999

etc.

usually, chinese ak's are serialized on the left side of the trunnion and not all will incorporate the year into the serial number.

That helps alot. The numbers that I thought might be the date were way too low.  The date is the import date. Roger that.

Thank you.
