M59 Importer Marks
« on: February 12, 2011, 07:22:54 PM »
Do importers or do importers always stamp their info onto rifles? I just bought a real nice M59 from a dealer and
it has no import marks or names on it. Is that normal?

Ammo- What would you be saying if they were refusing to sell at all? That they are hoarding and not sharing?Sounds like Obama talk to me; we cant have "ammo inequality" lets take from the 1% of people with the most ammo and redistribute it to the 99%

no, but not terribly uncommon. all are required to have a stamp but sometimes the $8 an hour guy doing the stamping sometimes forgets where he left off when he returns from lunch. :shock:

some marks are small and hidden. as example samco has theirs on the barrel under the cleaning rod.

It is actually nice when they hide them a little. Keep looking! 
nothing worse than a BILLBOARD  across the barrel!

some rifles imported before (I believe the year was) 1968? were not stamped
I doubt it ever pertains toYugos because of their age, but  in answer to your question, that is possible
