53 Tula left buttstock Original markings for Tula SKS's consisted of the same markings as the top cover, the Tula star, w/the matching date (in this case 1953) & the serial number. To check a stock for originality there should be ONE matching serial, the correct arsenal mkg & date AND the correct (for arsenal) acceptance marking on the RIGHT stock. You have to check the stock closely for line-outs or sanded off numbers. A stock w/the matching serial but no arsenal/date on left & no acceptance mark on right is a replacement as are ALL laminate stocks prior to late 1955/56. | |
