Trying to train my eyes. To me looks like a period correct Chinese stock. Am I wrong? Thanks

To me it would appear so, but don't see a SN on the butt. Picture is not good enough
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

Yeah i agree with boris, i think it’s a period correct Chinese stock and not an alby replacement. S/N may very well be there and match, photos are poor and inconclusive for certain.
