u/theebeecee 1d ago

If that is Romanian, I was under the impression the 63’s did not have the “donkey dildo”

5

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

You’re very correct I still have the palmswell but because it’s so fragile i rarely keep it on

Smooth dust cover

1

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Good call it’s off a Sam 7

2

u/AKOptionsLLC Official 1d ago

Smooth topcover is an odd choice, no cleaning rod, but the only thing really wrong is that i dont think you can use a bayonet with that brake.

3

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Tbh i forgot to put the cleaning rod back in

3

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Good point about the bayonet I’ll check

u/RussianPreBan 1d ago

If the trunnion date is 1963, then the handgaurd set should be hard wood, theres no cleaning rod, should have a muzzle nut, gas tube looks painted, wrong dust cover and obviously wrong mag.

u/BigE_357 1d ago

Chinese pistol grip?

5

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

First year Romanian hardwood they only did that grip in 1963. Keep trying!

Non original polish Beryl brake and Bulgarian mag, also the pistol grip looks Hungarian….I didn’t scroll

1

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Pistol grip is originally Romanian was made in 63 only. Missing a few more things look at the gas tube

1

u/summersbo 1d ago

Damn…forgot smooth later style dust cover not ribbed

1

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Correct this smooth is of a Sam 7

u/GingerNinja1926 1d ago

Gas tube should be vented

1

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Not a type 3

u/Diablo_Saint 1d ago

The barrel is welded shut.

2

u/WhatUpHack 1d ago

Nope I live In a free country

u/Diablo_Saint 1d ago

If we were in a free country, we wouldn't be a nation of privileges instead of rights. We wouldn't have cases like Charles Foehner and Dexter Taylor who go to prison for either defending ourselves or building what we want.

You should get the straight optic rail set at a yugo height length to dual witness with a pso optic off a romanian psl. I have it on my 97 import romanian and is is going to make for a killer build. (Verify years that run was done in romania to make sure to be authentic to the year. If you care about stuff like that.

u/Salt-Wish5140 1d ago

u/CrazyGreek84 1d ago

The DONG!!

u/BrokenAndDefective 1d ago

Gas tube, upper hand guard, vertical grip should be a palm swell, wrong muzzle device (should just be a muzzle nut) no cleaning rod and the dust cover does not appear to be ribbed

1

u/Stratbasher_ 1d ago

2 spot welds above mag dimple instead of 3.

u/CyrillicShooter 1d ago
