Stock and mag do not match. Question: should I keep this or move it along?

Stock is Russian, can't say on the Mag without seeing the bottom of it. or knowing what the SN on the mag is. F SN letter gun would most likely be a 1959 production year and possibly first half of the year, but not a certainty.

Also, just to clarify, don't confuse the Chinese "Letter gun" rifle ('59-'61) with the Russian late production "Letter Series" rifles ('55-'58). The Russian letter series have a Cyrillic number after the normal SN whereas the Chinese letter guns simply have a unique SN with a Roman letter at the beginning.
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.
