Thanks to several of the members I have added some new stock patterns. As I get pictures of them I'll add them.
Tiggertate was kind enough to let me make a copy of his Montana PH action stock.


This is a M70 LA classic

M98 from zlr


M98 Whitworth That needs the grip smoothed out


Mini Mauser


M 98


Old Style 98


This is what I call an old classic.

While this is more a new classic.

The Mini Mauser is simply the Remington 799 factory stock. Which to me has too much wood on it. I was thinking about making a new stock being a thinned down front and one of my other butts.

What combination would make a nice Mini stock??

Can you do one of the classic styles in smallring 98?

I would have to say maybe. If it is a small ring std length 7.835" between action screw centers then I could either leave the front ring area uncut or cut a starter groove.

If the spacing is different then I currently don't have a pattern.

i think we need to share credit for the grey one with TC1

Do you think that this:

would translate into this?

If the question is "is there enough wood in the cheek piece to allow a reshape" the answer is yes.

I have two old style mauser stocks that have this cheek piece that have been cut short. I need to add a spacer to get them back to the right OAL. They do have a much slimmer forearm.

If that is your stock we could simply copy it. Hopefully the pad is removable and I simply drill a couple small screw holes in the front of the barrel channel. Put a layer of tape over the wood. If you allow me to make a pattern there wouldn't be any additional setup charge.

Paul - I have a couple of questions and of course the first one is the (ball-park) cost?

The second is, can a client supply his own blank?

The third is I have a small ring 21H Brno stock I would be willing to lend you as a pattern. It would be the stock I need copied. --- John

I'm currently running a discount. $100 to copy my pattern. $115 to copy yours assuming minimal work to get it ready to mount.

By all means your wood. If you need a source contact Cecil Fredi. He has some good wood at good prices.

Using your stock shouldn't be an issue. Assuming the pad comes off so I can attach it easily. If not then I can still clamp to it. In those cases I leave extra wood along the butt the customer has to remove. If I need to build a tapered spacer to fill the void then there is some extra setup. I have a jig that mounts in the end of the barrel channel that requires a couple holes. Nothing that shows. The guides for the duplicator are nylon. If need be the stock can be covered in tape as extra protection. Normally a good coat of paste wax will minimize or eliminate any marks.

Is that your 7x57 modified stock?

Paul; No it's not my modified stock - still working on that "beauty". I have several more of those 21H stocks to consider.

Your price is not bad IMHO, but I'll need to look into shipping an item back & forth across the great divide (border).

The fact is I have purchased most of my blanks from Cecil. Will have a nice maple blank coming shortly.

Thanks for your reply. --- John

Ramrod,

I was looking at a saved picture of your, "Old Classic" just last week, so this posting is quite timely.

I will dig out some saved wood blanks from the spare room and send you a PM after I take pictures (with measurements to see if they will work).

Thank you for providing your service.

PM on the way for my next two stocks. The first two you did for me worked out perfectly.

It´s very nice to see that someone in there "other side of Big Bond" do stock designed for classic Mauser rifles with scope. I always prefer that kind of cheek piece.

Yep I wish I had that pattern. Only thing close I have is the Whitworth or a pattern that is way TOO thin in the forearm. Even the Whitworth has too much wood on the cheek piece.
