Fajen Synthetic stock for 98 Mauser
Does anyone know a thing about the Fajen Synthetic stock?
I tried looking it up on a convuluted website and couldn't really get anywhere. Do they have more than one sporter model and how much do they weigh?

Have you checked with Midway? I think they are the exclusive distributors for Fajen. Might give their customer service a call.

It is the same as the stock they used to market as the "corelite". Not a particularly nice stock IMO.. The barrel channel is cut to fit the A&B barrels. They are very clublike. Great if you need to hit a homerun while hunting.

Fajen stock specs

I particularly like their "NOTE" at the end of the page. Translation: There are huge gaps.

Agreed!

They're not pretty and they're especially high-tech. These are built as to be a utilitarian stock and they are what they are. I put one on my 30-06 and I can keep my groups right around an inch when I do my part. I put this rifle together as a rough service piece and though it won't win any beauty pagents, I have no real complaints.

YMMV.

midway owns this product, now.

along with AB and "frankfort arsenal"


the stocks are U G L Y

the gaps on the bottom are H U G E

but, a little filler and some paint, they make a workable stock...

did I mention U G L Y?

They are more than that. They are just plain FUGLY if you catch my drift.

You know it wouldn't be rocket science to make a synthetic mauser stock with nicely portioned classic contours
I just can't understand for the life of me why someone do this. I think they would sell a lot more stocks if they did.
