My 1967 no-maker M39 has this mark on the side of the receiver. It is struck (not dot-matrix). The 4 and 0 look like they were done with a smaller stamp than the 2 and 5's.
Does anyone know the meaning of this number? Apparently some importers like Samco did something like this. However, mine is "TG KNOX TN" import marked on the underside of the barrel.
