So you mean to tell me its unlikely that scrubbed guns could have been in a crate that was rolled around to the boxing station and boxed up? Am I to assume the rep verified the serial and arsenal of every gun put into a box.
Too many variables to list unfortunately.
I guess all YOU have to do is come up with a crapload of data that indicates differently, and then present your case.
No coincidences needed. Look at the chinese Toks, they have the year DIRECTLY STAMPED into the frame.
Believe what you prefer. If they were scrubbed then arsenal 256 likely did it.

Perhaps you haven't followed recent Canadian imports. Virtually none of the hundreds of chinese miliitary tokarevs to be imported over the last 3 years in Canada have included dates on the frames. It's noteworthy that something has changed since the Vietnam war where most us guns were probably sourced.
They are marked differently now.
Also, tokarev pistol markings may not match SKS markings schemes. We simply can't say for certain that they do, unless the Chinese sources turn up.
In addition...
You really should go back and actually read the post containing the Morstar 256 gun crate pics. The crate has the year code as we know from ammo crates, and indeed the guns within the crate match the OUR year code dating.
I'm sure you are right about that. It's also what I said at the time for that crate matching factory 256.
OK, whatever. I really don't give a cr@p what you think given you've never even held a rifle from this import. Have a great weekend.
Not having any serial data etc to reference, It looks to me as if it either has an 8th year of t77 designator being 1984, OR they possibly used the calendar year being 1980.
Sorry I can't narrow it down any further. China used both ways of dating their firearms and in this case I simply do not have enough data to know which is being used.
