2 questions for yah guys and i know this is probably elementry for you hk guys but hey like they say if you want to know -- Go to the source so here it goes

1. Date codes i think the first 2 letters indicate year can you give me the date codes with the corresponding year?

2. On the forend did the sp89 get imported into this country with the vertical grip handle or was the round forend with that nub on the end (i think atf required this) the only forend imported and the vertical grip put on as a upgrade by the individual. Just trying to find out how the came into this country from hk.

Many Thanks,
Robert

ABCDEFGHIK is 0123456789 so AK date code is 2009.

SP89 can not have a vertical fore grip... That's a no-no without a form 1 to SBR it. It's a part like anything else only certain items are restricted. Also, there are USA made ones.
