hi guys! i just picked up a Mod. 98 Yugo capture gun, and i am trying to figure out when and where it was built. i receiver ring has been scrubbed and the Yugo crest put in it's place. while cleaning the gun i noticed two small stamps on the trigger W8A77 was stamped below a Nazi eagle. twice side by side. too small for pictures. anyone know what that code is? also there is a "J" on the rear top of the barrel in front of the receiver. let me know if more info is needed.
thanks.
thanks.

The "J" sometimes has a lower case "p" next to it. Unfortunately it's one of about three unknown barrel codes, for the barrel manufacturer. Look on the bottom of the receiver, just behind the recoil lug for more markings. They will be assembly proofs, but once in a while you get lucky and there's more.
