    AK SN Question

    I just got a Bulgarian 74 kit, and when I checked the numbers, the front trunnion and dust cover are marked with 4 digit numbers, but the bolt, bolt carrier, and extractor just have the last 3 digits. Does anyone know what the reason is for this? I'm just curious.

    Space savings. Some countries do all 4 digits, some (like Romania) put all symbols and digits on them.

    The purpose is to keep the parts "matched" together for functional rigfle use. If your rebuilding from a kit, the only numbers that matter to match are the bolt, trunion and barrel. If those aren't matching, you'll just need to set headspace and repin the barrel.

      Thanks. That's what I thought. Unfortunately I have a virgin barrel for my kit so it does not match.
