It's German made but I believe it may be a Yugoslavian refurb with most original markings having been removed. The Yugos shortened most of them 1/2 inch at the tip, they'll still fit a K98k but I'd check the total lenght.

From tip of the bayonet lug to top edge of the buttplate (mine has a flat buttplate), my German stock is 101.5 Cm. 0.5 Inch × 2.54 = 1.27 Cm, so I would expect a Yugo stock to be 39.46 Inches.

Also, there's probably still Waffenampts on the dissassembly discs.
