I would guess a sporter rescue, or some foreign user mixmaster the most likely scenarios. A lot of such rifles have been de-sportered and re-assembled back into military configuration for many years now. Some of the early CIA Balkan imports were not expensive (under $100) and got parted out if they had a nice stock. The stock number on the bottom edge is the German number for that stock originally. They put the s/n in that location up until 1941-maybe early 42. Not to be confused with the RC number stamped on the left side of the buttstock.
