Recent Bud's SKS Acquisition (My First SKS)

Neat!

By divots, I mean these. They are always in this location too:




The fit at the front ferrule is also a good indicator of Albanian origin replacement stocks. Quite a bit of fittment is required to get them into a carbine. The bayo channel on yours looks custom cut, almost zero clearance instead of the typical half round slot the mill typically leaves during std production.

It's a neat example you have for certain, I've not noticed many Albanian made replacement stocks on spike Chinese type 56's in general. (The three or four type 56's I own with these stocks and the loose replacement stocks I have are all blade bayo models).

Actually never noticed the divot before, Here's mine on an 11M spiker with replacement Alby stock.
(I notice they didn't give a damn if the lumber they used to cut the stocks was full of knots, that little one there isn't half as bad as the one going through the magwell) 



Something knotty.

Those divots are weird for sure, can't deny the placement... Thanks for all the feedback!
