Additional Information

The stock is non-standard G.I., yet it's listed as a replacement stock used during the war. The numbers on it bear witness that the stock was received by the Bavarians with the rest of the rifle. The exception being the bolt, which has no marks. The 4 digits in the barrel well of the stock likely indicate the stock was removed from another Bavarian rifle before being placed on this one. Interesting that someone would black out the milled police marking on the receiver, yet leave obvious the hand scrawled importer mark, righ next to it.
