Mauser Stock

Hi Guy's,

I have an 8mm Portuguese Mauser in need of a stock.
Is that a stock that can only be a Portuguese stock or is there some other Mauser stock that will work?

Thanks for any information,

Aspen 80

The Vergueiro stock is specific to that rifle [AKA the Portuguese Mauser]. Long slender wood for a long and slender rifle. Designed and developed in Portugal and built by Mauser, all in 6.5 x 58; most of them in Portuguese possession rebarreled to 8 x 57 in the late thirties/early forties.

Try Springfield Sporters. They parted out many years ago. Might have wood. Also post on the CMP website in the "Wanted" section. This will be tough.

First off you have to identify whether or not it is a M1904/39 Mauser-Vergueiro, a M1937 Mauser, or a M1941 Mauser. I do believe all 3 should work with a M98 stock for the simple reason in the 50s and 60s when the M1904/39s were imported they used to take the trigger guards off them and replace them with a standard Mauser one simply because it had the thumb release magazine. That part was worth 20$ or so in that time period, well the M1904/39 sold for about 15$. Take the trigger guard off, replace with a regular Mauser one, and they would resell at no loss well still gaining a 20$ part.

The M1904s original intent was to be cosmetically a Mauser with a indigenous bolt design. Mauser wouldn't have set up completely special tooling for everything when they could have gotten away with what was already standard.

Hi,

I just bought a Portuguese Mauser at auction, but I don't have it in hand yet.

I will put pictures up when it arrives. Check back in about 10 days.

Thanks

Did some looking around and someone mentioned using a small ring M98 stock on a sporter M1904/39

You must know what you have prior to buying any wood. Portugal bought German made weapons for over 40 years. Might well be a standard M98 Mauser. Might not be a standard German Mauser. Post some photos and we will go from there.
