Has anyone looked at this Johnson carefully?

Looks like pistol grip on stock is missing. Seller not pointing out. Don't see recoil tube or spring, seller is pointing out this flaw. Barrel need ground down for bayonet lug, probably a sporter barrel? Wonder what else is wrong? Couple of other parts missing.

Butchered original stock, missing tube, spring, follower, probably tube cap and buffer assembly, buttplate, replacement bbl without bayonet lug, receiver drilled and tapped partially covered with rear sight from what I can see

Doesn't sound like an actual shooting rifle. Perhaps more of a well ornament. Certainly not for $2000.00

This is in no way any type of accusation! I am only pointing out a "strange looking area" on the receiver.

Whenever there is any discoloration or "damage" or oddity in the serial number area.....I'm always curious. Now I'm not saying anything is wrong with the receiver, since it could be my overactive imagination. I, for one, wouldn't touch it with a ten foot light sabre.

Do any of you see what I'm trying to point out? Is this something that could have been done at the factory? How about being done overseas? Just saying...................
