FYI: I bought # 5 & added what it lacked & unbubbafied it w/ original Albanian parts. An Albanian cleaning rod, Albanian butt plate w/ hinges & springs & an Albanian Receiver Cover although unnumbered. I’m pleased w/ it.

It seems the middle numbers of the '69 Alby's built had some really nice wood used for their stocks! (This one is SN: 02550-69) and I've seen the same wood grain up through the early SN:04000's('69) Not every rifle in that SN range got the nice wood, but there is a large representation of it in the mix.  I'd love to find one of those that could be refinished without ruining the value. That would turn out beautiful.
