Picked up a brand new milsurp Mauser stock at a gunshow this weekend. Trouble is I don't which particular Mauser it would belong to and neither did the seller. Wood is straight grained with a reddish tint. Buttplate is a "flat" style. Right side of stock near butt is stamped "1.TRZ" and on the opposite side is a four digit serial? number. Sling swivel is mounted right behind the pistol grip on the bottom of the stock. There's three cartouches near this swivel, one looks like a crown, one looks like an "N" and the other is ???. No sling cut or metal "button" on stock. Bayonet lug looks like a normal 98 type. Handguard is not a 98K as it has the wood between the rear sight and receiver ring. Saw a Turk M1938 on J&G website and it's not this model. I commented to an experienced Mauser collector that it wasn't a Yugo Mauser and he stated that not all Yugo's have sling cuts in the stock. Any ideas? Educated guesses? Wild guesses??
