Mystery "NVA" folding stock identification ?

Dear fellow enthusiasts,


I have here a mystery stock, advised as a "NVA folding stock" that I would like to know if someone can ID. I have purchased it from a very reputable seller here in Europe that has provided us with MPi kits for a long time. Being curious about that thing, I still purchased it. The "shoulder" pad part matches East German as being straight rather than curved like a Romanian, but the part that goes into the receiver absolutely doesn't. It sure as hell is NOT East German : receiver part is not triangular like one, it uses 2 screws to fasten it, it uses short Phillips head screws, and has no sling loop.

I thought it was airsoft, but airsoft receivers are not hollow and therefore cannot adapt this. I'm sure it is not airsoft. It looks kind of cheap tho. Please find pictures here (disregard the filing and discoloration, it was a very tight fit and had to file a bit)


















Can anyone ID that stuff ?

Looks like either Romanian or East German to me. First type was push button release then this type with the lever. Can't remember who did it first.

That is an unusual configuration.
I have not seen that particular layout before.
It is not standard Polish, Romanian or DDR.

Though it could be a different configuration of one of those.

UPDATE:
It is one of the newly manufactured Polish folding stock.
Robert RTG, Country Shed and other are selling that pattern .

Damn. Seemed like there was an endless supply of the real ones, but I guess not.

First thing to do would be to bin the philips head screws.

Woah good eye! That's exactly it, thank you! I was only looking at "military" patterns but it seemed too new to be surplus with those screws.

Yeah, that's why I decided to get what I thought was a real one. You always see those parts for sale, nobody wanting them and always think you'll grab one one day, and then it goes out of stock forever. They also had presumably real surplus ones, but they missed the mounting material, so only the "wire" end, nobody wanted them.

So is it the Poles or the retailers making false claims of origin? NVA= National Volks Armee = DDR = East Germany.

That stock is sold as Polish in the USA. Been around for a good while.
