A custom for a client built on a 1903 Springfield action incorporating many Mauser features into the build. Not my typical style of stock, this one has much more American style.

Very nice work Steve ! Lots of neat features on that action. The Mauser Bolt stop/release is interesting, does it function as an ejector as well ? The rear square bridge looks much better than the standard Springfield "hump". I bet this project took a long time to complete.

Wyatt, the Mauser bolt stop does indeed function as an ejector as well. Some of the other Mauser type features are the bolt handle and the re-shaping of the rear tang. I can not seem to build a rifle without some British influence so the H&H pattern 1/4 rib and front sight. Steve
Have not done it on a Springfield but have on a model 54 Winchester. Inthis case, it is only a bolt stop with no ejector, of course. A relatively easy conversion on the 54; probably not quite so much so on a Springfield. Who has done one on a P14 or Remington Model 30? Regards, Bill.

1917 Remingtons, done a few on those. I think I still have one in the shop. I will get a pic. Of course not as nice and this one by far. Nice work. Don
