I think that what I received and what you received are from the same lot. I should have been clearer when I stated that the "staining probably couldn't have been removed". I should have stated that there were water stains, and mold that couldn't be removed. This stock looks authentic, and yes, certainly unissued. To be issued, you'd think it was ready to install on a rifle. This stock is unfinished as well.

One side of the stock looks okay, but the other side not good. It must have been lying in a box on the ground and absorbed moisture. Like I said, it looks probable that it is authentic, but besides that, I'm not sure usable, unless someone knows how to remove deep water marks and mildew/mold.
