The stock looks to be Chinese, but without more pics, it's just a guess.

it's possibly a Molot rail that Kalanka Optics sold.... look up pictures of that mount, and see what you see.

Could be that the scope is side mounted low. Does look similar to the one in GM's link. PAX

Post by: BaerenGott on January 20, 2019, 10:27:00 AM: I've seen a few of these...in places...the mount is upside-down. It mounts low alongside the stock, which is why the optics have such a high base.
