1891 argentine mauser stock
I recently bought an 1891 argentine mauser from a pawn shop. It looks like it is in one of the 50's montgomery ward sporter stocks. The barrel is original length with the step off for the bayonet and the crown is still in great condition. I am looking to restore this rifle to original condition, where can I get a quality original stock?
http://ssporters.com/ doesn't have them
numrichs doesn't either.
Any help would be great!
2nd thoughts - forget it!
I have just taken a look at photos of the different actions.
The recoil lug on the 1891 receivers is much further back than on the 1893/1895 receivers. Unless Claven 2 knows how to do this, this looks like the problem that invalidates the whole idea. The recoil lug bears (I think) on an inlet plate (on later models, the recoil bolt) that has to be very well fitted AND have strong material behind.
Sorry, I don't think it's feasible.:thdown:
