So I’m curious on the background/history of the potbelly stock. Apparently I have two and from other forums and research on-line there not common. So is that true? Where did they come from? Russia or China. Any info would be appreciated…

thanks
mike

Unless I'm mistaken, The Potbelly stocks are the Albanian replacement stocks for the Chinese guns that were sent to Albania.

thank you for the quick response Power Surge... once i get a photo account I will post pics... which hopefully is today...

the one SKS does have a Albanian name carved in the stock... but the other is a matching ghost gun including the potbelly stock... which right know is my favorite :-)
