Yup...

But what I wanna know is... Why do the actual stamps have a line going through the n or shape in the lower right corner that is not present on the typed version?

different writing styles. The stamps are more like actual hand-written characters. It's like Russian letter д , the hand writing is more like English letter D

Gotcha..

You have Chinese background pcke2000?

Can't say I disagree. So we basically have three distinct series (or at least 2+1 if the 6 digits and 721s are related) that I see:

Five digit S/N, 2XXXX format (unknown amount, at least 80 in the 22 series and 440 in the 28. Possibly 28k if they are truly sequential but I think that's doubtful)
Six digit S/N, 0XXXXX format (at least 20k guns)
721 + Six digit S/N, 7211XXXXX format (at least 11k guns)

I think myself....along with a lot of you, have looked at so many rifles, that when something new pops up....our brain's like "Hey!!! WTH is that??!!!"

I'll more pics to follow....

Def one of those moments. Lol

RM has alot of luck figuring out these characters... Given the holidays I'm not sure when he will be online, but I know I'll be trying to pin point it in the meanwhile.

Again... Very nice catch!

Funny how far the year designation (23) is stamped away from the rest of the serial. At least that how it looks to me, and it would fall in line with the timeframe of all the other DPs and DBs.

That 1 is very different.

Is it me...or does the 2nd character look like it was overstamped on a partial number? Don't remember seeing to many chinese characters with that much curve to 'em. The D is odd itself, Its stamped deep not to have at least part of the back of the D.

Interesting find man

Can't wait to find out more on this 1.

Loose}{Cannon · « **Reply #69 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:37:43 PM »

Even the far left vertical portion of the D looks to have been a broken/chipped stamp. You can see the some in the middle, but a good 75% of it looks to have broken away from ghe stamp. All kinds of things going on here...

Edit... AH beat me to it

I thought so too....I am starting to clue into the serial number layouts with these....Definitely looks like it got used at some point....and thanks!

Man... That second character is bizaro. Looks like 4 legged animal with a beak!

Maybe its the beer?

Loose}{Cannon · « **Reply #73 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:44:22 PM »

You buy it?

padams8888 · « **Reply #74 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:48:03 PM »

Well heck ya.....

armedhippie · « **Reply #75 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:55:53 PM »

From what I can see, looks like all the EP'd numbers only have the last 3 digits, they left off the 0's. The extractor is EP'd as well. Another of the bulbous gas blocks....don't think I've seen a DP or DB that didn't have 1...least since I've been paying attention to 'em.

Do they all have the same groove finished barrel exteriors?

A lot of them do, but not all. Their kinda all over the place when it comes to fit and finish.

What your seeing is either tool wear, having the travel speed a tad bit fast, or combination of both.

That seems to happen quite a bit...especially on the Mak-90's....and most of the SKS's that have those unique stamps on the bottom of the receiver...
