| Bottom metal for Mauser 98, anything else have same hole spacing? | Login/Join |

Need new bottom metal for my Mauser 98 project and got to wondering if anything else lines up with the hole spacing? Thought something not commonly seen on a 98 might be interesting. Sako, CZ, Win M70, Rem, Ruger? Anything I didn't mention? Thanks | ||

Snell, what exactly are you looking for? Unfortunately most of my hunting rifles are mausers. I have 1 win mdl 70 and that spacing is 7" (its also a short action). Is this for your 9.3? A lesson in irony The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us... "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves." Thus ends today's lesson in irony. | |||

try a milled bottom metal from an '03. They look great and have the right hole spacing. The trigger gaurd is smaller than on a mauser and lends itself to custom applications. Steve | |||

Quite right. The screw head recesses in the Springfield bottom metal must be slightly enlarged if using stock Mauser screws. Beyond that, it's an attractive alternative that was quite common in the early days of custom Mausers in the US. Below is an example....  | |||

nice mannlicher, GV... On the rear screw, you also have to "take the angle out"... which is a 2 min deal, but the springfield has a slight angle on the rear. jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Yes Joel this is for my 9.3 project. I was just trying to think of something a bit different than the standard M98 bottom metal even though I kinda like it. I also really like the 03 idea and I'll have to take a look at that as I do have an 03 laying around waiting to be a Whelen. Actually what got me to thinking was a Sako bottom metal I saw for sale and by the looks of the magazine it looks as if it could be inletted to work but I didn't know about the hole spacing. | |||
