Probably the triangle metal stock. I just did some measurements

Polymer Bulgarian fixed stock = 9.1 oz
Russian 4.5 Smooth back skeleton triangle stock = 5.9 oz

Thanks for the weights. I am trying to make a M10 AK come in under 6lbs so I really need a stock that is tang friendly.

RPB Industries polymer triangle stock weighs in at just under 7 oz. This will fit fixed stock receivers.

To be honest, it seems to me that the M10 would be front heavy, and that you would want a heavier stock to balance out the rifle.

East German pebble stock set would be my guess.
Much lighter than the black/plum poly stocks.

Yes it is, at least to me. The stock it comes with is definitely on the light side. I'm guessing the heaviness is even more noticeable with the wire folding stock some versions come in. Atlantic was selling some until they ran out. I'm going to ditch the rails on mine and try some wood.
