Very nice find! I’m unfamiliar with the stock marking. Maybe just the stockmakers mark? Hopefully one of our Mandarin speakers here or on GB can help. I’ve never had a para length. Is the dwell time on these long enough to cycle with the same degree of reliability?
I checked with my Chinese co-worker. The stock stamp means "Jing", the name or trademark of the company. It is perhaps the family name of the company founders.

So would that be considered Chinese aftermarket rather than state production?

So would that be considered Chinese aftermarket rather than state production?I don't know for sure but it would seem it's at minimum a sub-contract to a "private" company so it would have had to been no earlier than the 1979 (start of Deng's economic reforms) and more likely later. Have these stocks only shown up on refurbished or commercially modified (like M08's paratrooper) SKSs?
Well, the cleaning rod rattles around with each shot, and goes "jing, jing, jing, jing, jing....."
... with that archaic thread pattern...
