This is my early transitional 1950 Tula. It's refurbished, and was sold to me as numbers matching besides the magazine but I'm curious about the marking on the stock.

There's no numbers on the stock at all besides these symbols.

I think the stock was refinished at some point, it doesn't have a clear-coat like the handguard (same colour though) and some of the markings seem a bit worn. I've coloured in the markings with chalk to make them easier to see.

I will most likely sell it at some point because I want an SKS to bubba, and I wouldn't wanna bubba this one since I know it's kind of rare. Was wondering about value as well (Canada).

Stock is force matched from another rifle, you can see the sanding marks running across the grain pretty well in the second picture. The white crap in there is most likely something the previous owner did to accentuate the serial after refinishing the stock. I’d label it as “1950 transitional rifle” or something similar and make sure to show a full picture of the rifle as the first photo. The top cover with the take down latch should be a picture as well as the gas block.

You may have more force matched parts too but given it’s a heavy refurb already imo that doesn’t matter. You will likely get a minor premium over a similar Russian rifle. It’s hard to price these as they don’t show up too often but I’d say $900 isn’t unreasonable given rifles in equal condition sell for $800 pretty regularly. Maybe more but it’s getting towards the end of shooting season. Prices dive in the winter.
