Looking for help in identifying this as real or fantasy piece. The stamps look a little too clean and the buffer base piece isn't marked.
What say ye?
German buttstock?

Re: German buttstock?
Note how it doesn't have the nice, swept back, flowing lines of a German stock. Instead it has that sort of front to back squashed look as though someone has put the stock in a vice e.g. the shoulder hook part is near as damn it in line with the lower corner of the stock.
Other indicators would be the six binding wires and the serial number on the stock, although serial numbers could just as easily have been added to re-used German surplus by the Yugo military.
There are also details in the metalwork i.e. construction and thread pitch but I can't remember the full details, however, it's on here somewhere.
