Not sure about these batches available now, but about half of the Type 53's I've run across have Russian stocks on them. I find Russian parts on them also. Last time I ordered two of them (years ago) and got one with a Russian Bolt in it and one had a chrome bore and one not. I can't remember if it was a date thing or what, but I did verify that not all were chrome bores. If you get Chu wood....good luck doing anything at all with it besides cleaning it. Only positive thing I can say about CHU wood is that is is so soft, it hardly ever cracks!
