    Short K98 Stock?

    I don't know if it's just the way it's been photographed or whether this K98icon stock is actually shorter than the normal length?

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Looks like a bit of a fish eye pic.

    I came across the picture online and it just looked a bit odd and so I compared it to a similar stock that I have. The one in the picture does look shorter when compared to the example that I have, especially in the centre area of the fore-end, but it may just be the picture.

    Numrich has some short Kar98kicon stocks. Mauser 98K Yugoslavian Conversion Stock

    Original German 98K laminated stock converted by the Yugoslavian military. The stock tip has been shortened by 1/2". This stock uses handguard #878170 and standard 98K front and lower bands with 3-5/8" band spring.
    Could be one of these. Maybe?
