My gawd that is AWESOME!! I love the 1920 Tula markings... And a good many marks look like matching Tula marks from here....
The stock is an 1896 no-cross bolt stock. I have no idea where that would have come from... No Finn marks... I doubt it could be an Austrian capture because the dates are all wrong. By 1920 the Austro-Hungarian empire was history and the Russian Civil War underway between the Bolsheviks, Whites, and SR Greens... Thanks very much for the photos! That is a cool one for sure!

VZ24 P rifle, Chinese. Complete and functional, but probably heavy pitting under the wood. Can't get the action outa' the stock. So it sits for now. Not a shooter.

Obviously the stock is from a different rifle, at least once. Since it is stamped 1896. The spot for those wood repairs is typical of Austro-Hungarian capture rifle sling swivels? The rears were just like that of the M95 that just screwed into the stock.
Sean,
Think you are right in what you wrote in your last reply. Almost certainly second stock on this action. But there is more, the rifle as a whole in it's current configuration. Small details on the stock will give it away, and somethin' about the barrel markings.

Thanks Denny,
Took a hundred fifteen photos last night, and ditched all but the ones I posted. Figured you guys might be intrigued. Sean should figure it out soon.

If intrigued includes a touch of envy, then yes I am intrigued!!
Good score LB.
Good score LB.
One obvious thing that hasn't been mentioned, is good to have on this rifle. Nothin' that would add to figurin' out what it is in current configuration, but somethin' you would like if you bought it. It's a good reference rifle to have in your hands for several reasons.
