Polish ak missing date

[05wrangler]

I just received my polish ak parts kit today and realized that its missing the last number in the year of manufacture. Has anyone else got one like this or seen one?

Looks like it has been overstamped. There appears to be a nmber stamped underneath the Z.

I'd say 1987 and someone changed it to a Z for whatever reason, or they didn't have a 2 stamp and used a Z ??

I agree!!

Don't know about the possibility of a missing digit on the date stamping...

But it's right cool to see the Radom mark on an AK, that's for sure.

the only thing that makes me think that its "missing" is I was told, idk if its true or not but, the polish SN is, first four digits are the year, followed by two letters, and five numbers after that. that being said the only one that's not accounted for is one of the year number. is this info correct?

You have been correctly informed. Every polish serial number I have built,owned or seen is stamped - year(4 digits)/2 letters/five numbers, so your serial is unique and interesting.
BTW your de-mill job looks a little rough, the holes appear to be egg-shaped, the rivets should fill the gaps once they are squished though.

yeah who ever demilled that rifle drilled the rivets out instead of punching them out. Not ideal, but those aren't the worst Ive seen. If they get to bad you'll need a longer rivet to fill the gap and still have enough to squish on the inside.

Yes the demill job is pretty rough, I contacted the company that I ordered it from ( pretty reputable company) they said it should be ok. I posted some pics of them on akfiles to get some thoughts as this is my 1st build. That is where someone pointed out the date markings to me.
