Is there a Synthetic Stock that fits the issued K98 Mauser action & barrel ?

[JWFilips]

Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a Synthetic Stock that fits the "as issued" K98 Mauser action & stepped barrel. I have a 98 that is from 1939 that has been put into a sporter stock back in the 50's. Looks nice but the interior wood is very oil soaked / split and compressed. This is a 1939 J.P. Sauer & Sohn issue so The Action & barrel are original ( stepped and with ladder rear sight). & I would like to keep it so. I would be happy with a more stable mounting platform ( being either sporter or stock issue) But everything I see is for a modern contoured barrel. I 'm just not sure If I can ever get bedding compound to stick in the original stock to Glass bedded it

Boyd has a new Tacticool stock. You'll need to research what barrel contour its designed for:

ATI has a Mauser stock that gives you a scope option for barreled K98 actions.

I hope this helps.

Ramline has always had a synthetic stock for the 98 Mauser.Robert

I put a K98 in the Ramline and it works fine. I had to rasp a bolt handle notch and a side safety clearance but if you have a straight bolt handle and original back-of-the-bolt safety, you can bolt it right in. Good price & nice pad too.

Sounds interesting: So it is inlet for the large ring Action and the Military barrel With the rear ladder sight?
What I have been seeing are only stocks that are made for a sporter contoured barrel. Is there a particular model I should be looking at?

fatnhappy,
That is a nice looking rifle! I checked out that Ramline stock on line and it appears that is what I need I will have to modify the Bolt handle area because that is the one thing that has been customized ( Bent for scope use)

The bolt handle clearance is no biggie, couple minutes to hog it out with a narrow rattail file & smooth it with sandpaper wrapped around the file.
Good luck. Ed<><
