After being in storage for about three years, my late variant M-21's are home. 416's with 23015402 and 23014398 if someone is collecting data. There's an interesting (as usual) anomaly on one of 'em. Can you spot it?

The bayo is upside down on the top rifle. PAX

...and riveted in place which means unless it's a quick detach hook style like on the SKSS's, it's like that forever until that rivet is drilled and replaced.
Nice ones Matchka, they look as good as if they were just imported! thumb1
Is that a diff. front piston locking lever on the bottom one? Hard to tell in the photo?

I've "punched" the rivet out and reused them. They only need a little flair to stay put until a new one is located. PAX

Tks! Nailed (pun intended) it on the bayonet. I'm going to leave as it is from the factory. Any ideas on how often this f-up has been seen?

2487 times :)) PAX
Prolly a jillion but I meant on the M21 specifically as it's presumed to be a high QA/QC build.
