Boyd's has a selection for most Mausers. Depending on if you are using iron sights or scope, you want something that matches your use. I ordered an RIA for a peep sight 95 Chiliean Mauser and trimmed off the hump so it would bring my line of sight down to the peep. It was cheaper to do this in my case.

"Sportsmans Guide" had the Fajen synthetic "sporter" replacement stocks (No cheek piece, "classic style", black, checkered forend and grip) for the large ring 98 Mauser for $44.99 (Member) or $49.99 (Non Member) plus shipping. "Ready to go", no fitting or finishing needed. Will require the bolt handle "notch" to be cut or "rasped in" if you have a low , turned down (or commercial) bolt handle. For a military style (straight or military "bent") bolt handle it is a "drop in fit". Sometimes they are on sale for $5 less, but I cannot find a listing at that price. You could always try asking them for the sale price. I really like the one I got.

Check Boyd`s for quite a variety of stocks and woods. The least expensive as I recall started at $69.Robert

I just finished a 98K action fit with a new barrel in 308 Win.

i used a thumb hole stock from BOYDS in the Pepper color.

The rifle will have a scope.

I installed a Vias type muzzle brake I also made.

The drawing of the muzzle brake is in Special Projects.

Here is Boyds' wood selection:

Boyds' webpage regarding Mauser action bolt spacing is also very helpful for rifle model and manufacture identification. (Note their restocking fee.)

If you want light weight, go with a black plastic Fajen stock. I've had good experiences with them, but they aren't pretty:

Both will require some fitting and bedding work.

I hope this helps,

I have been buying Mausers stocks from Brownells.

You may want to check Richards Microfit Stocks, www.rifle-stocks.com. Has a good variation of styles, and the prices don't look too bad.

I have used Boyd's Stocks 3 times now and they are good stocks for the money. They do have flaws though. All 3 of my stock came with a flat place somewhere in the stock. 2 were in the area just behind the grip and one was in the bottom of the fore end. All were repairable but took extra work on my part. All 3 had more wood than I like but 2 or 3 hours with different grades of sandpaper cut them down a bit lighter. 2 my Boyd's so far have been laminated stocks. All brown. The other was a Marlin 336 in walnut. The rubber butt pads furnished with them are serviceable but cheezy. I would rather they be left off because I am going to put a Pachmayr Decelerator pad on them anyway. The Boyd's are very nice once you get one finished. Take your time and look at all options and as many examples of the finished stocks as you can find. Other people including me will likely have slightly different ideas of what your rifle should look like but you are the one that counts. If you don't like the looks once you get it on your rifle, you have wasted time and money. james
