From what I've seen, only the folders have very high serials with the date...my fixes is 3 digit preceded with zeroes...
Can someone PLEASE post a picture of their serial number? ... you can ## out the last digit or two if you wish. I simply need a pic of their serialization structure having the 2017 first etc.
Here ya go LC

Im guessing Claven2 does not have any proof the 2017 year disignator was asked for specifically by the buyer.... Besides, 'if' they asked for one, the Chinese did it how they are used to doing it!
Sounds like another story from a buddy to another buddy. A lot of that going around.
For your info, these guns are marked with the full manufacture year as follows:
20171234.
The importer asked for unique markings different from the military guns, apparently to make it less likely they can be deemed to contain re-used full auto receiver parts. Or at least they claim this in one of their threads.
It also seems like the folders have a 7(for 2017) on the bolt carrier before the serial. Fixed don't have the 7, or at least mine doesn't

Yes, I can only recall seeing folders with the 7 there.My folder HAS the 7 before the serial on the bolt
