New to the board but this is a subject that I've wondered about for a long time. Is there a picture of the "Arsenal 016" rifles with the number in an oval, say like the 974 or the 386 in-the-oval arsenal stamps? Example of the 974:
I've seen references to the 016, but never a pic of one. But my own experiences show the triangle 416, on my Security Forces SKS, and my "M". I've also seen the triangle 416 on a Receiver Cover with scope rail mounted on it.
LC, I can't tell anything from the last pic you posted, (too blurry), but the first one you posted shows the "leg".
A pic of my "M":
And of the scope rail I referred to, (Also a blurry pic): (pulled from the web)
I don't have my Security Forces next to me to take a better, clearer pic of, but here's an old pic of it:
I can take a better pic if it would help anything. I see this is a split topic. I hope that my post is relevant to the topic and not off-topic.
