Nice!

Looks to be a /?5\ arsenal from our list:
(http://sks-files.com/Themes/1080/images/Arsenals/tiles4.png)

Month 3, Year 18 gun = March, 1973, #6007 off the line that year.

Should have a pinned barrel, bottom stock swivel, two piece gas tube, late bolt carrier, late bayo lug, spike bayo, & five digits of stamped numbers (06007) on all the matching parts.

Importer is Poly USA out of Atlanta, GA.  These are the guys who were shut down for importing illegal arms back in the 90's.

Looks to have had a scope mount receiver cover on it at some time.  The divots are telltale signs someone had the set screws torqued down pretty good to try and hold zero!

Looks like a good one, let us know how she shoots!  thumb1

Yep, what RM said. Looks like a ?5 to me as well which would be either an 0406, 4006, or 0046. My vote (which counts for nothing) is still for the 0406. :) :)
