It is a mystery as to its origin to me, I would like to think it is a military one. Had it for years and fired it lots. It still shoots sub MOD even after a metric ton of crappy Chinese steel core has gone up the pipe.

For some reason I thought it was made in 1968. I don't remember why. If anyone can decrypt that symbol on it and tell me something.... That would be cool.

Is that what that is, a poly stock? I guess I've never seen one before. It looks cool.

the stock is like some sort of fiberglass or something. really super durable. It came painted red like that originally. Apparently it is the stock that came on the rifle from new as well. By far this is the most trusted semi auto firearm i have ever used. It has not given me a single issue ever. not one hiccup. I wish they were all like this.

They are very reliable, just clean every so often.

Found this chart, I have no idea what it means.

I bought two stock sets back when they were still cheap... the wife broke one of the hand guards... not easy to find.

Here is a nice Chinese (and a nicer Irish).
