He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Looks like a pile of PPSH series buttstocks on the shelf to the left of the photo as well. Stuff on the right looks like typical RPK's.
A stone foundation with mortar work, I wonder where in the country this photo was taken? My experiences were mostly in regions that featured mud, with mud and straw construction.
I wonder if that is one of the 7.62mm rifles, I can't see .30-06 being terribly common there, and the lack of jingle or decorative sling suggests it's not a privately owned tribesman's rifle.
Fascinating, good find!

Someone needs to adopt that poor thing and give it a decent home.
