The bolt and safety look like they're off an enfield. But the rest...

I think it looks like a Mauser action actually. The ejection/loading port are mauser shaped, the bolt shroud appears to be a 96 or similar cobbled together idea.
I think the striker is round as well, not a rectangular prism, so it seems to me to be a mish-mash of mauser pieces.
It's hard to tell from the picutre, but that would be my first guess.
Also, you can function a mauser action without any changes with a 7.62x39 round in there, my dad has one that he built for giggles. I am 99% sure that the enfield will not function without a new extractor for the small rimless case if it's a x39 round.
This is all monday morning QB'ing so who knows, I'd like to find out, just offering my thoughts on it.
