K98a stock identification and parts

So, I recently bought this 1915 Eufurt k98a from my local gun store. It appears to have a vz24 or similar stock fitted to it with some added sling swivels. I've never seen any stock like this before. I'm guessing the extra sling loops were for calvary setup?? Has anyone come across one setup like this? Also I was looking into converting it back to its original configuration and I cannot for the life of me find the correct bayonet lug for it. If anyone has a recommendation for where to look or get one I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

To be honest I am impressed that the previous owner got it to fit up properly!

Kar98a stocks are quite few and far between. I’d expect to pay north of $400 for a stock set IF you can find one! I know PPHU Fox in Poland makes repro stocks, but he’s had health issues and LONG wait times as of late.

Apex Gun Parts currently has “fair” condition Polish K98 stocks (they warn of cracks at the wrist) which are suitable. However you are on your own for the other hardware bits and the handguards are nearing “unobtainium” territory.
