Ok, thanks.
POC is the manufacturer then, or who makes it?
Sorry, idiot giving you shit. POC -> piece of crap.
^^^^^^I’ll cop to that!! ^^^^^^
Honestly not sure what that is, but the machining seems slightly unrefined, if you follow. How does it feel?

I looked up an old ZZYX Bullet Brothers, because it reminded me a little, but it didn’t seem to be a match.
Its not.
Its a Stratos MX6 or Superstar 6/7. Besides many other cues, the bullet-dimples on the seals give it away.
I dont remember how to differentiate, they came in a gold/bronze color and the silver. Stratos dampers were decent, but the chassis was pretty flexy due the pinch-wrap arch that wasnt one-piece with the lowers. Still a lot more solid than SCs of the time.
I just remember that Stratos relabeled a Bullet Brothers at one time (or vise-versa?)
Its ATF in a stratos.
Stratos was at least a few levels above BulletBros/zzyzx/hanebrokemyleg, etc.

Stratos S7. There's probably info out on the internet on how to rebuild it and keep it working. There are worse forks from the era. There are better forks now. Ride it, or sell it on vintage DH on facebook and buy something better.
