Can someone tell me if an 1896 Mauser stock will work on a Schmidt rubin 1911. Bougt a 1911 at a garage sale for $75 rifle is in excellent shape an original except for the stock. Looking to restore it. Found a good 1896 swiss online looks close but was looking for a vioce of experience to help me. Will it fit?

Yes, but tell me about the stock on the 1911 you bought. Was it sporterized?

And this might help you with other things. Detailed comparison of the Schmidt-Rubin Series
Sporterized stock shortened forend & removed handguard.
Are you dead certain its not a .308 conversion? Are there holes drilled in the receiver on the left side? Is there a stamp on the left side of the rear sight mount?
Is it a 96 Mauser stock or a 96 Schmidt stock you found?Quote:

As to stock, it is being advertised as a Mauser stock From the photos looks close to those online of the schmidt reuben.
