Ok I think I found the answer of your mystery stock... The Albanians made it as a replacement stock for their Chinese bladed rifles..

Now that you mention it, the stock doesn't really look like the Chu wood the Chinese used. Has a bit of look of beech.

Well in truth I blame the OP for alot of the confusion.. Took forever to get photos out of him for key parts of the rifle. He was told by a learned member in the 1st page how to clean it up.. But instead of doing it the easy fast way, he takes extra time with some kind of "mother earth" melt with the sun process.. Some folks will do anything take a 1 page thread and stretch it out to 7+.

For the sake of fairness... The old fart does move kind of slow.
I'm thinking if two days in the blazing hot sun in a black trash bag didn't melt it, the car wouldn't have made any difference, and I'd just be left with a dirty rifle and a stinky car!
Thanks Harry. I think... Indy kept trying to talk me into putting the rifle on the dashboard of my car to melt the cosmoline, but I'm sure he wouldn't have volunteered to come clean off all the cosmoline that had dripped down the dash and onto the carpet (eventually), or to get the smell of cosmoline out of the car (not that that's a bad thing).

Cosmoline smells stinky??? That hurts man.. that hurts..
I hope they fired their engraver.

^^THIS!!^^ I can't believe anyone would do that. Great job DD.
Thanks Kelly! I think the "engraving" (and I use that term VERY loosely) just adds to the story and character. I know everybody always says it, but "If only that gun could talk, I wonder what stories it could tell."
If it could we'd need sub-titles. It would be something like, "HEY, GET THAT ALBANIAN IDIOT WITH THE KNIFE THE **** AWAY FROM ME!!" in Chinese.
