Rifle stock identification help

[Dave DeLaurant]

SKS, Chinese made (at least the sn# stamp on the side looks Chinese). The sling is a Chines one, commonly called a Jungle sling I think. The wire spring like wrappings were used as the leather tabs would rot out in the Jungle. They were used with the reddish fiberglass type stocks.

But I could be wrong

Well spotted! I just saw Mischa's video covering the Chinese SKS a few weeks ago, where he mentions this sling spring gizmo -- and I totally forgot about it.
