unammed, The order for the Mexican National Police was fulfilled in 2014. So if you get one of the Mexican Police marked overruns it would be from pre 2014 manufacture date. If it was sitting in a warehouse or transit for over 4 years it could have a little surface rust on the firearm. As far as the stocks aesthetics it is the luck of the draw about the piece of turkish walnut it is milled from.

Matthew, Discontinued 2017. The CZ 550 FS features a classic Bavarian-style Mannlicher stock, steel muzzle cap and a 3-position safety. This safety is unique in the CZ line to the FS and Carbine Composite models. It locks the bolt and is on 'safe' when fully to the rear, remains on 'safe' with the bolt unlocked for unloading in the mid position and is ready to fire with the bolt unlocked in the forward position. While the aesthetics of this model remind us of rifles from times gone by, with its short 20.5″ barrel, fast handling stock and iron sights, it is even today perhaps the most appropriate configuration for quick shots required when hunting in dense cover. (These are Factory New reproduction models and not the actual model built way back when for the Mexican Military).

around 2014 it could be the preservative coating they applied that sometime looks like rust the stock beauty will be luck of the draw some are nice and some stocks are plain but still a quality stock
