The lug could be swapped and Astrawerke supplied really heavily far and wide so not of a whole lot of use. Really need to see it to make any good guesses but certain ranges of Borsigwalde stocks are unmarked, there are also various makers of armorer stocks so it could potentially be one of them as well.
Thanks
Here are some pics.
"1" on the bayonet lug
"f" on the left side of the recoil lug
Serial number in stock with a 7 next to it. No letter block. Nothing else in the stock channel.
Handguard is matching but has nothing but the serial number
Underside of buttplate has the red rust preventative but nothing else
Under the buttplate is a big "NA" and the numbers 7 and a 304
Heavy rust on the buttplate and takedown disk. The bayonet lug has some pretty heavy rust too on certain spots.
