Had one lying around from my Soviet militaria collecting days.

Ah....I didn't notice to be honest.

It would look good with that Romanian stock changed to a stamped Soviet one, it makes a lot of difference to the look and feel and gives a much better cheekweld.

Yeah definitely, that's next on the to do list, though I understand that it's not a straight swap.

It isn't a straight swap but isn't too bad to do, I did it with my old AKMS and it was relatively straightforward but does involve a Dremel and small files to get the fit right with little margin for error.

Nice, was that one of the Polish stocks that are floating around or a Russian one?

It was from ex-Soviet stock and sourced from Russia, it was a rare one with the cut-out on the left side that would clear the AKMSN side rail scope mount.
