Matching serial numbers

This new GP WASR10/63 has matching numbers through out. Does CIA stamp these numbers or was the rifle pretty much in tact from Romania when CIA recieved it. It would be nice to know that these parts were all for this gun and not parts from here and there and everywhere.

I'm pretty sure CIA stamped some of it. They are required to make it "U.S. compliant" before they can sell them in the U.S.. So for that reason, there wouldn't necessarily be certain parts left on it unless they stamp that same number back on it, which is possible I suppose. I'm also not exactly sure which part/s they have to replace either, to make it U.S. complaint. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure CIA stamps some parts.
