I ordered this because I needed a shorter Length of Pull for my Pre '81 BLR. It's an inherited rifle and the gun felt unstable when shouldering it with layers on. I didn't want to cut the original stock in case I messed it up. This is a perfect old stock original part and, as a previous reviewer noted, it comes wrapped in what appears to be original vintage newspaper (that gave me a bit of a laugh) and plastic from Japan. The only issue is that because it's a vintage part the stock and rubber butt pad had a bit of a film on it once I unwrapped it, probably from being stored so long. But it cleaned up perfectly with a towel. The wood and finish are both beautiful.

I purchased this to replace the one the previous owner shortened for his grandma to be able to shoot. The stock arrived as promised in perfect condition wrapped in newspaper from japan!
