Looking to replace a sporter stock for a M1924 Mauser, large ring, military barrel. Gun has been tuned and tricked out for competition, however, the original (vintage Walnut Stock) is not taking the recoil so well. The stock did not have cross bolts.
Looking to replace the stock with a Laminate or Synthetic or Hardwood stock. I was looking at Boyds. They have exactly what I want, but, not what I need. A drop in, free floated barrel channel for large ring 98 Mauser, 7 7/8"th center to center action screws, reinforced with cross bolts and action screws sleeved. They claim the stocks do not require glass bedding, but the owner may choose to do so if desired.
Problem is...I'm working with a M1924 rifle here...not a K98. All the dimensions of their stocks work perfectly except the floorplate. K98's are 8 11/16" and that's all they offer. I have an intermediate length action...like a M24/47. Floorplate is 8 1/4" in length. Any help? Rifle is a tack driver. (Less than .4 MOA) Would like to drop it in a free floated synthetic stock, remove the Lyman sights and drill and tape for scope. The rifle shot sub MOA before I started working on it. I now have the a crisp 3 1/4 LBS single stage trigger, and began working on the original stock but, figure, the time and effort involved in prepping and bedding and all that would be much easier just to buy a new stock. Preferably synthetic, as rifle is producing sub MOA groups with 1953 Turk Surplus...with handloads, I'm sure I can shrink it down. And a synthetic or laminate not susceptible as much as Walnut to weather, temperature, humidity...etc...would keep it as accurate as possible.
