Hello Aurélien, this is a typical reworked MG42 stock from the Austrian army (Bundesheer). These sheet metal bands ("CYKLOP") are postwar and normally the first generation wooden stocks without the sheet metal band were updated with this sheet metal band. So all other parts should be ww2. I have seen really a lot of such stocks, normally the ww2 markings were removed during the rework process but sometimes the markings were still visible (sometimes good and sometimes bad).
