Why did the Romanians dip the butt of the stock in black paint?
What other wierd stuff did other countries do to their rifles?

I suppose they wanted to make it look like they could afford rubber-pad stocks, but at the same time, they were Romania.

Black formulation was brittle at the time, they settled with plum, 1988 is when true black mags came to be that aren't brittle.

I'm not sure how much it counts as weird, but for a while during the pistol's use in the US military 1911 magazines were partially blued so that the upper half of the magazine could hold a stronger temper.

I'm not surprised.

There was a rumor for a while that Canada was gonna replace the furniture on all the C7s with branch-specific colors; green for army, black for navy, blue for air force (to go with their dress uniforms because air force people do not use rifles)

it unfortunately never came to be but it would have been hilarious to see people with pastel-blue handguards during drill practice

lel, no.
There's nobody making green bakelite furniture in the States.
That's real, it was bought after it "fell off a truck" by a Russian guy.

The Border Guard Award rifles, are essentially paperweights as they are demilled from the factory and do not function.

http://www.theakforum.net/forums/29-russian/128854-green-edition.html#post1211578

So they can be sold to civilians, but they rarely come up.

>that specific rifle was sold on popguns.ru for around $670US iirc

That guy Pavel, got another one and posted it to his blog.
