1) How the heck do you remove the upper handguard wood off of the gas tube? I'm able to remove all of the other wooden furniture.
I have a Misr Maadi 7.62x39 which accepts the double stack mags, so I assume it's a Misr-90 type. The instruction booklet says it's an adaptation of the AKM rifle - semi auto only, non threaded barrel, 4 grooved rifling.
Serial number is CM 12547.
2) If you all are interested, "Misr" is Arabic for "Egypt", and "Maadi" is "the most recent" or "latest". I found it kind of oddly redundant when I was in the shop and they showed it to me, saying it was an Egyptian Misr. As for the odd factory mark on the butt plate, the letter that looks like a 7 with the tail of it curling to the right in a circle represents their J sound, which is the first letter in their word for company or group. It is only missing the dot below the letter, but they omit dots for art's sake sometimes.
I was kind of disappointed when I saw her receiver didn't sport any cool Arabic script on there, and there were standard English numbers on the sight. But what does the P stand for, just aft of the 100m marker? Point blank? Paratrooper? Potted Meat?
And by the way, I love CLP. My Army girlfriend got me hooked on the stuff and it's the only thing I'll squirt on my rifles and revolvers.
