The stock has had the original serial and maker stamp belt sanded off. If it was matching it would have the Tula symbol, underneath that would be 1950r and then the serial number. On the other side of the stock would be a circle in an oval stamp. You gas tube is a renumbered one, the original has the serial number electropenciled underneath the tube. not on the side. Not a bad looking rifle, had one just like it.
