Ak 47 Serial Number Location

 admin
Hi folks, I've just joined but have lurked and enjoyed your group for some time. Its great.
Anyway, I have read on this site and others-(linx310s--great site too btw)-that the last two digits in the serial # of a WASR-10 represents the year it was made. Well, I picked up a 'NEW' WASR-10 at my little, old local shop last Saturday and the serial number on the gun AND paperwork is AK-3995-81.(EIGHTY-one).
On the left side of the receiver reads from top to bottom exactly::
AK-3995-81
GP WASR-10
Cal. 7.62x39mm
*********************
On the right side of the rifle is::
Made By Romarms/SA/CUGIR
IN ROMANIA
IMPORTED CA.GEORGIA.VT.

Wassup guys? I'm stumped. Is my gun mis-stamped? Any help would be appreciated...Sonny

B West Ak-47 Serial Number

Wondering about the legality of covering the serial number on a handgun. A friend has an older S&W Sigma 9mm that does not have the provision for the rail adapter. He really wants to put a flashlight on the handgun and since the bottom of the frame is flat (in front of the trigger guard), it would not be too difficult for me to drill and tap it for a small rail section. Only problem is the serial number is located right there. Would it be ok to cover up the serial number since you are not actually removing it?
The other option I was thinking about for him was to remove the metal plate with the serial number engraving and install the rail section. We would then inlet an area on the frame (I was thinking about the back strap thickest area and least seen) and secure the metal plate. Is there a fedearl requirement to have the serial number of the handgun located in a specific area for a particular model?
TIA
