They used blade bayonets till 1967 I think. It might be Russian birch but I doubt it, probably just nicer and higher quality Chinese wood.

Kinda reminds me of the ones that a CGN member chromes and gold plates, then puts 'em up on the EE. Pretty cool looking, but too rich for my blood..

They are likely older rifles they converted into these parade rifles. The first runs out of factory 26 had the blade bayonets for a bit. I have a feeling that its like other parade issue rifles and they got older rifles in storage or that were unusable and chromed and deactivated them. Lots of countries use deactivated rifles in parades.
