Does anyone make a Mauser 98 pocket plate?

Looking for something along the line of what Wisner's makes for the CZ550.

From Wisner's:

CZ550 FP Floor Plate, replaces factory 375, for CZ 550, (pocket plate, 6 round) $ 65.00
CZ550 FP Floor Plate, replaces factory 416 for CZ 550, (pocket plate, 4 round) $ 65.00

Must be a pocket type floorplate extender to increase magazine capacity.

Some might call it a Rigby style. At Sound Metal Products, we make the Rigby syle for the 98 but they only fit our bottom metal. See our website for photos

Bobster has it right. It is an extended floorplate that adds magazine capacity without changing much else. Duane, your stuff is a work of art, I was just hoping to tinker cheap.

Someone once made an extended plate that allowed 10 rounds of 8x57.

Great for the urban commando.
