Until we can figure out a chronology, I have them listed by year, and within each year alphabetically. I don't want to limit this to just AKM's, so whatever you have, I would love to have the serial for it! Type 1-3, AKM, AK74 everything. The more data points we have, the better we can date the bolt carriers and assorted parts, and maybe, just maybe, we can figure out what their numbering system was. Lets see if we can get the other arsenal and make combinations filled in. So far we have a decent listing of Tula AKM's, seeing as how we just had a nice influx of Tula trunnions. A clear picture of the trunnion with the arsenal mark, date and serial would be a great help. Please note that to our Latinized eyes, several of those look similar ie ?, ?, ?, ?, ? etc. The Russian alphabet (properly known as Cyrillic) is thus: ? If you have a Russian trunnion who's serial and year is not listed here, please post it, or if you don't want your name attached to it, PM it to me! I need to know make, arsenal, year and serial. Picking up where AZAK has left off with his spreadsheet, I've taken his serial number listing and stripped off everything but the trunnion info, and added some more data points I've found around here and the web.
