Could be, I have seen "id" on some G36 parts when I had reason to believe it was not a date code.![]()
The "AH" also appears on this UMP bolt. Could be some sort of proof mark for weapons that were for export?
If its like the couple of 33s Ive seen in some of the $h!t holes I've been deployed to, I would bet there are no markings on the right side.

AH = 2007--- the "unusual" date codes were 1993-2001!!! :biggrin:![]()

The right receiver was generally utilized for U.S. import markings--- outside of the U.S., the right receiver will be void of markings!!! :biggrin:So I asked ZIB if these receivers were from demilled or decommissioned rifles or receivers that were perhaps never assembled into complete rifles. They responded that they were new. I take that to mean they were produced years ago, but never assembled into a complete rifle. They also said there are no other markings on the other side of the receiver.
Interesting--- I did not know this--- where is the actual, manufacturing date stamped???Guys, the AH is a date code that is applied for export use. It does not always correspond to the actual manufacture date of the rifle. This is why sometimes you'll see older guns with a much newer date code.
I am really liking that camo rifle!!! :biggrin:Just to confuse things, here are some pix of the right side of some receivers marked with ATM (Malaysian?) and the serial number.

Where is the serial number??? :biggrin:And now they are selling almost complete OEM HK33's with no extra markings like "E" or "B" etc. Good to very good condition and well greased up from storage. Minus barrel, bolt and trigger parts. Even almost complete 416's & 417's minus same. Those are way too pricey though and no they can't be exported.
HK33, free part set, without barrel/bolt/trigger/magazin
