I would say that you have a Shooter's rather than a Collector's rifle. It is a m/38 Husqvarna action and bolt, and has been rebarreled by Carl Gustafs sometime between 1942 and 1955. The stock, as BARIBAL mentioned, is not the original stock but I would say that it was also a replacement stock for a 1908 Carl Gustaf rifle before it was put on your rifle. Many of the parts are not original parts but are of mixed manufacture. As such, the markings on the stock disk indicating condition are suspect. I am a bit suspicious of the stamped numbers inside the handguard and stock, as it is only the last three digits instead of the whole serial number, it is of a different font and size, and the original numbers are not cancelled.
We have two possibilities: (1) the rifle was Inspected and overhauled by Carl Gustafs State Arms Factory or (2) it was put together, or had some major parts replaced by someone unknown to improve it's condition. Either scenario is possible.
With the barrel having been replaced, it is probably a very good shooter if the routine maintenance and cleaning has been performed.
