Boyds (?) Semi-Inlet Stock ID Help

Hey all.

I thought someone out there may be able to ID this stock for me.
I just picked it up in a local auction. I've always wanted a classic safari style rifle and I'll take this wicked beautiful stock as a sign that it's time to build.

Trouble is, I don't know what it's for. I suspect it's from Boyd's. I've seen that same style ink stamp in the barrel channel of a Boyd's before.

Any help??

My hope is it's for a Mauser...maybe the 1903. Either would be great. I would be less enthused by a Winchester 70 or Remington 700. Fingers crossed!

Thanks!!

Looks like it would work for a LR Mauser to me judging by the flats on either side of rear bridge and tang area. Also to the left and right and between of the trigger/magazine box. The cartridge trap is a nice catch all by itself and looks very well inlet for you.
If it's for a model 70 that would be a good enough kick to pick one up for me.

Thank you for your input, Doco.
I was leaning that direction as well based on pictures.

I'm going to lean into it and proceed with the project. I have a line on a couple commercial FN Mausers in 9.3x62. Doesn't get much more classic than that and they'll make a great foundation along with this stock.

I paid $87.50 for the stock. I figure the cartridge trap ALONE was worth that. Nice start indeed!

I aggree with Doco, defintly a Mauser stock what his observations and also the large hole for the forward trigger guard screw. Not a Win 70 for sure.

Thanks, Bill!
I have purchased the mauser to go in it. 9.3x62 as I said. A real classic thumper.

I'll take pictures along the way. If things turn out alright, I'll put together a post.
Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA has a great series on YouTube for this project. "The Nearly Perfect Safari Rifle." Should be fun...and expensive, haha.

RC, My stock is shaped just like yours and the wood is very similar. I believe they were made by the same stockmaker. The Buttplate has the "Bishop" logo on it. Mine is a T38 Arisaka rebarreled in .308. The stock and most of the parts were gunshow pickups. Salt Flat

Yes that is a mauser stock from boyds

That's a sweet looking rifle. How does it shoot?

Usabaker, Thanks for the comment. It's a good shooter-- I've shot it just a few times. It has a recycled varmint weight barrel that I think I paid $10 for quite awhile back. The rifling was great so I re-threaded it for the Arisaka action and chambered it for .308. Just recently I revised it a little by switching to a Weaver K4 and Redfield mount. I will get it out again soon and see how it does. Salt Flat
