Hi guys. Wanted to see if i could get info or thoughts on the bnz I picked up last night. Really nice and shiny bore. Guy i bought it from said he bought it from a family whose grandfather mustve had it in his closet for 40 years. Who knows about that.

It appears to have the correct Steyr stock. Can you post more photos?

So the stock and bands appear correct for mid-1944 Steyr. The mismatched bolt is out of a WWI Kar.98a. The trigger guard looks right but based on the shape of the forward part of the floor plate I'm guessing the floor plate has been replaced. The marking on the right of the stock is correct for that year and manufacturer.

I would assume the floor plate has been replaced. It really doesn't fit that well and i can seem to get it off.
