 rofl

Its (old) Iraqi honor guard of some branch, likely airforce like p32 says.  Its an early Russian sks shown by the early russian takedown lever. 

Is that a Jungle stock?

i couldnt even see the takedown lever.
That is black on the bottom?  i thought it was blue, my next guess was going to be Netherlands

Yeah, that stock has me scratching my head  ???  Maybe it is a fiber glass stock. Looked a bit like a Yugo HG stock to me, but their HG rifles don't have chromed receiver covers and they aren't based on the M59. Like Newchi I could not see any details of that takedown lever  :o

I think he's referring to the black band on the bottom of the Iraqi crest

I bet it is, and a spike one at that. No crossbolt (or bayo) to allow it to fit (and none needed for a non-firing weapon like this)

LC has damn good eyes. That takedown lever is totally pre '54 Russian. All others have two detents on the lever, this one only has the one. (I can't see the tab either, but I can see the detent :) )

I dunno...  I believe they march with bayos extended, and that stock looks like a potbelly to me.    I dunno

How about them ears.  I bet that guy was dropped on day one of the invasion when we took out their listening stations.

Nope....  You were correct.  No bayo.   These stocks look like wood with side swivels.
