Despite the different "OK ****" serial on the left side of the action, Luckily the bolt serial Does match the bolt carrier.
The previous owner fired some rounds and allowed me to fire a dozen rds. before I bought it last month. With my three SKS, Enfields and Spanish FR8s, I Always looked for matching bolts before purchase, but quite frankly, this time I forgot about any potential problem, especially hearing about the gun's operation and trying it out. 'Several' boxes of ammo have been used even After I bought it. Everything seems normal.
The main question here: Weren't the original bolt carriers swapped for a US-made bolt carrier with Matching bolt (to help comply with 922r parts...) followed by a careful check of the head space, and adjustments always made if required,
before initial distribution inside the US? Maybe this was standard procedure on post-ban AK clones....
Note that it is a Maadi "ARM", and not a MISR 90.
