Can't find a thing. There are a lot of obscure guns! \n\nTry in this book:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1886768552/ref=sib_dp_pt/102-4086720-2729712#reader-link

http://www.surplusrifle.com/\n\nRead the info in the guns section, then go to the forums section and read through all the posts in the semi-auto section. \n\nThere are marks....letters and symbols stamped into the metal on the receiver and barrel. These will not only tell you the country of manufacture but the factory and year. Join the Surplus Rifle forums and post what you find, and pics if possible. Lots of helpful people there. \n\nFirst made by Russians, they were made by China, Albania, Yugoslavia, East Germany and probably more (never heard of Egypt making them though?)\n\nThe SKS is a great rifle capable of decent mid-range accuracy, rugged, easy to tear down and clean. DO NOT shy away from the cheap surplus ammo (OK, it's not cheap anynmore!). Ammo that is 'corrosive' just needs a quick cleaning at the range with a patch soaked in Windex, then a patch of oil. No worries, no problems, been doing it for two decades and no rust.

i bet not too many.  maybe look at the serial number, sometimes it can give you a clue.  something like XX0000500 might mean you have the 500th gun they made.\n\ni know about the X2, but didn't even know they had an elite light with gold engraving.

i think they buy barrel blanks, and then do work on the ring, tubes, chamber, cone etc.\n\nyou'd probably be better off with a european custom gun, as they are more prevalent.

one source ws from the former soviet union...after that fell apart many former soviet officials started peddling off their stuff like a yard sale on the black market.  I would guess a lot comes to them through Syria who gets them from russia and china.  You are right Jennifer.  There are international arms dealers who don't care who they sell to...some have lived right here in the U.S.  In wwII there were people who were American citizens who actually sold equipment to Hitler.  I'm sure it continues and that is a disgrace.

The manufacturers website?

Here is a very nice world war 2 weapons site. The site is divided into sections (rifles, machine guns etc..) for every major nation involved. It even shows a picture of the weapon discussed

While the M2HB is now discontinued I would contact Valkyria directly and ask them for a copy of whatever documentation you need (http://www.valkyriearms.com).  They claim the M2HB to have an "ATF approved design" for the weapon on their site (http://www.valkyriearms.com/m2.htm). Most manufactures are happy to help out with requests like this, but if they can't, contact the BATF through there webite, field office, or headquarters.  Good Luck
