Very nice example.
Difficult to say for certain from the photos, but it appears the barrel, and necessarily the stock, have been shortened a good bit from their original length-- a not uncommon treatment in the Balkans.

Rick did mention the shortening of both components in his initial post, and it looks obvious from his measurements and the images themselves.
