Stopped by the LGS on the way home and found this on the rack. I checked the numbers and took it home. It's quite clean with a stock in nice condition. The bolt and bolt carrier are probably factory replacements that were numbered during refurbishment before export, given the different font. Rear sight ladder, gas tube and gas piston are EP'd matching. The /526\ seems to be missing much of the horizontal line for the "5" and "2" but the stamp is so distinctive that I can't see it being anything but 526. It's also a "letter gun" rofl K suffix on the SN.
Anyhow, hope you enjoy!

Hey.... where is the newly stained wood fence? bat1
Nice pickup Jon! Youre going to need to go back into the closet at this rate!!!
I never knew.....Jon came out the closet :o rofl2
Sand it, stain it, refinish it.. it would be worth........1 billion dollars thumb1 chuckles1
Dat's real nice thumb1 wish our local shops had or would get some nice orginial ones, but alas, they all get and have those horrid folding, scoped, donkey dong magazine all flopping around, wrapped in Tupperware things. So, I just go look at the Glocks now, it's the same difference.
526, that's not an overly common one is it?

We have our share of Polythene Pam and Plasticine Porter SKSs here too...”press 1 for ignore”...I guess if I keep buying the good (wood) ones quickly the consignors sitting on one or two will keep consigning them think1 thumb1 :))
Yeah, /526\, just four years of production recorded in the serial data, not a high annual production arsenal (or “sub-arsenal”) either, so uncommon. However, I will not go down the rabbit hole of collecting arsenals didnt do dash2 :))
looking good, that is a beauty. nice find! thumb1
