yes...i ended up purchasing it off of GB... i think it what they call a ghost gun... but whats interesting is that stock... it matches the rifle but seems to be Albanian maybe...
That's a new one to me, sounds like a way to upscale an early Jianshe Arsenal SKS 56-Carbine for sale. If it's a five digit serial that should be a 1956 dated rifle, According to yooper's page an Albanian rifle should have a dash (123456-XX) year of production suffix, and the Albanian forestock is a fair bit longer than any of the others.

The stock ferrules? They look pretty normal to me, and SKS is not a precision fitted gun and they do vary. Keep in mind modern production versions of these guns from the same factory retailed in Canada for about $130 not too long ago. Given the rule of markups, that is less than $50 USD out the factory door.
