I saw rifles that looked familiar with no place of manufacture, no serial number or manufacturer's logo. The information was not removed, it was never there to begin with. I can only assume they came from illegal arms manufacturers in India or Pakistan that produce copies of weapons.

Or China. China makes an M-16 Clone, for export only. They don't use it. At first they were only "near clones", with different grip, buttstock, and front sight.

Now they are much closer, at least in appearance.

Iran also produced a direct copy of the earlier Chinese near clone above. -

Iran still produces the Chinese M-4 lookalike. If I remember correctly, a Iranian commando team was found with these in Iraq.
