If yours isn't marked in any way? Either the import/manufacturers markings have been removed. Or it was assembled from a kit with a home made receiver. More than likely, IMHO it's the latter.
it has marking at top of bolt - s64 8 602 163 xm9895
magazine side of breach - WLA29-C0105

If it looks like this, hopefully its one of the Century Arms guns. Built with a U.S. made semi-auto receivers. They scavenged all the parts they could, off the original selective fire Sterlings.
If it aint one of the Century guns? You might be in deep dodo. Looking at 20 years in the slammer, with sugar bugger bubba as a roomie.
