Thanks for the tip Matchka!  Unfortunately the lack of the full S/N and the abundance of photoshopping means this one is useless for the database. It very well might be legit, or it might be something totally different.

I don’t get xxing out NVA serial numbers. Are they worried someone will match the numbers with an import list?  Not like this carbine will see the light of day out at the range on a monthly basis either.   dntknw1

Ahh this was from surplused_arsenal.  he posted them here a while ago (https://clone.sks-files.com/index.php?topic=6720.msg74501#msg74501).  I suspect it's legit.  I don't have this one in the database.  Last 62 prefixed carbine I have is 620096.  So if the photoshopping didn't muck with the 6300 portion, it's 630097, 98 or 99. :))  Maybe I'll email him and ask him to send me an unaltered photo.  thumb1

I reached out to him on Reddit and asked him to post here with more pics and info that'd help with the database. A follow-up email from you might help. P.s. I didn't know that he's already a member after I made a pitch to him to join!  rofl
