The rearsight is a Danish Otterup sight, from a model 1952 (m52) Otterup targetrifle. Otterup made target rifles from old german Mauser 98 and k98 left over from the second World war. in the yars between 1946 and 1990.
I stocked my 98 Mauser with a Boyd’s laminated stock back in 2009. It turned out beautifully. I had to do the bolt handle inletting, also. At first I was hesitant to do it, but I took my time and did lots of trial fitting until I finished up the job.
Greetings from northern Alaska . Excellent rifle. Love the high gloss finish. Thanks for the video. I need a stock for my zastava and I will buy one from Boyd's after seeing your video
I like your rifle very much. I have bought several stocks from Boyd's and have been very satisfied with all of them. I use either Birchwood Casey's Tru-Oil or BLO to finish with but I soften the shine by rubbing it with BLO and rotten wood powder on a felt pad. It gives a very pleasing sheen to the stock. I also glass bed every rifle I have. If I ever need or want to replace a stock, I never look anywhere but Boyd's anymore. For quality, fit and price you can't beat them!
No matter how beautiful the grain of the wood or how impressive and bold the future, without checkering it's as bland as a table leg. It's never too late to make it right.
I have a 1909 Argentine Mauser I bought several years ago that had already been customized with a stock made by, or for, someone enamored with Weatherby. From the trigger guard back I like it just fine. It's the wide, flat bottomed fore-end with its reverse slanted tip I dislike. (It's been rechambered and rebored for .35 Whelen, bolt bent, aftermarket trigger that "breaks like glass", as they say, safety reconfigured to a vertical, two position push-pull style, unlike my three position, horizontal style, pre '64 Winchester Model 70, and the barrel has been shortened to 24".). Mechanically, its a dream. Oh, and it was made in Berlin, not Argentina. I may try reconfiguring the current stock as it is black walnut. We'll see.
Van Isle Gunnut - you know, I did a lot of stocks and experimented all sorts of idiotic things. One that I like, was in place of checkering, I mixed a small amount of glass bedding compound, put it where I needed it, pressed a piece of window screen material. I waited until it felt tacky, and pulled the screen out. It left behind these dimples. It actually gives you grip, good grip too. If you try on a different project, you need to do it upside down. No, not you, the gun!!! Haha, little humor. I'm in Arizona, I'm not sure what type of screens you have there, but it's not mosquito type. Speaking of Arizona, my neighbors are starting to arrive from Canada. 27 families come here for the winter, let me know if you know anyone, I'll give them screen to take to you. Take care.
+Tony Oliveira Interesting trick, thanks for the tip! I think I might try that with my Rem 700P before I Duracoat it again as I'd like a bit more traction on the HS Precision stock which is quite smooth.
I think it looks great. Of course, I think just about all Mausers are great. I have a Brno Chech 98/29 barreled action I think that would work with. I can call them to verify. I have a couple of wooden stocks from Boyd's I like their products. I have a laminated thumbhole stock on a old 788 that really looks great. That rifle always shot well, it still does. It is my carry in on coyote stands. In 22-250. Still shoots great with the original barrel.
Steel wool it, 0000 will dull it nicely. Flitz is gritty, hand polish it and you might like it. But before you touch that stock, go get a piece of oak, finish it to match the stock, than experiment dulling it. If you like the sample results, do the stock. Either way, I hate stocks that are shinny, every little scratch becomes an eyesore. I only use linseed oil and instead of wiping the access, I use automotive wet sandpaper. 400. It looks good though, if all you are not hunting with it and you like the shine, leave it alone. Besides, if you are happy with it, it really doesn't matter what we think.
I love your Mosin build, nicely done! There is so much inexpensive 7.62x54R ammo here in Canada, and I have nothing that shoots it. I feel like I'm missing something here...
Van Isle Gunnut Thanks! It's a really great shooting gun. Can you get the Mosin in Canada? The surplus ammo is drying up here.... I bought 440rds for $89 a while back, but now that same can is $170ish
When my Boyds Prairie Hunter stock came in i dropped my 1903 Springfield that had already been sporterized in it.and did not bed it i was told that i did not have to do that to it so when i fired it it cracked the stock . Boyds sent me another at no charge so i now have it at the gunsmith getting it bedded to the stock plus i am getting it re blued because it needs that done to it the old bluing is wore out also i am getting it drilled a tapped so i can put a scope on it.. So my recommendation is if you are going to put a aftermarket stock on any high powered rifle have it bedded to avoid the problem that i had when i put my 1903 in that first stock that i got from Boyds
were here is a update after i got my rifle back from the gunsmith who bedded the stock it had some kind of clear crap flaking off the stock but i went ahead and hunted with it during deer season. When season was over i called him and told him he said it was release agent he put on the outside of the stock so bedding compound would not stick to stock. I could not get it off so i sanded all the finish off down to the wood and i have stained it with minwax stain called golden oak i will wait a week and then apply the tru oil to it. I wanted to leave the stock like it was finished when it came from Boyds because it was just going to be a hunting rifle and the finish was just fine for that.The way the stain is looking it is going to look better than the finish that came on it from Boyds. i guess what i am trying to say is that with a little work a Boyds stock will look even better than they do when they come from Boyds
Nicely done my friend. one stupid question did you sand the stock before you apply the tung oil? I am thinking to do that on my mossberg mvp stock thanks .
+mcdicky I just lightly rubbed it with some fine grit as there wasn't much of a finish coating on it. You will need to get whatever surface coating is already on the stock off so the oil can soak in.
I just very slowly notched it out with a round file until I got the fit I liked. Once I had that done I wrapped the round file in sand paper and finished it up like that. The round file I used was just slightly larger in diameter than the bolt.
Oh yes, even under the butpad. No matter where you live you probably should. Where I was living at the time I was doing this project the temps would range from 95 F in the summer to -50 F in the winter with very damp spring/fall seasons, so even more reason for me.
That gun is beautiful! I have a few questions. Did you happen to find out yet what rear sight is that? Who did your conversion to 7.62x39? Do you have any feeding or ejection problems? I have been been wanting to convert a Mauser to 7.62x39 for a while now so i am curious. What version stock is that? I didn't see you mention it in the comments.
Further down in the comments Christian Kryger identified it as a "Danish Otterup sight, from a model 1952 (m52) Otterup targetrifle". The Mauser action feeds flawlessly. The stock is the Prairie Hunter model in walnut. Converting a Mauser to 7.62x39, while cool, would be cost prohibitive considering the cost of the barrel and the work required. However if it's something you feel you just have to do, the Mauser action will work great. I think if I were to convert a rifle to 7.62x39 I'd start with my Savage Axis in stainless chambered in 308. I'd really like to have a tough little bush rifle in Stainless chambered for 7.62x39.
@@hemlockoutdoors CZ527 has been discontinued, and I don't like its single row and prominent magazine. I bought a Zastava M85 that looks like a Mauser action, but it's not actually a control feed.
I considered it but once it was mostly finished I took it to the range and saw how well it shot and decided to not to f with it. I sold it (2016?) once I got my CZ527 set up to how I wanted it, otherwise I probably would have eventually.
nice rifle. i subbed you. BTW, how long did Boyds take from the time you ordered it? reason i asked it took 6 weeks for a Savage for me and now i just bought a unissued yugo m48 which has no history and would like to get a stock for it. also his prices have gone up? thanks.
Thanks! Honestly I can't remember how long it took. I do remember looking at the ship date on the paperwork and finding amusement in the fact, that despite Boyds shipping it within 24 hrs, it still took over a month to get to me. If the prices have gone up it wouldn't surprise me as their prices didn't change for a number of years for the basic versions. ($99 or so?).
yea, think they with up $29.00 early 2016. mine was beautiful but as you said they bill you, i waited but nothing i called "nothing" kept hanging up? finally i called visa and it came 6 weeks after they billed me. but again good fit n good looking. not very good service once you buy one. and mine was for a Savage rifle?
In your experiences with boyds, how much fitting is required? Do most of them just drop in? Im talking about more commercial guns rather than military models. Thinking of getting one for my savage axis but i dont know much about woodworking, and am very limited when it comes to power tools.
+Van Isle Gunnut thanks for the hasty reply. Just ordered it. Cant wait, its really gonna dress up my gun, much better than the plastic nerf gun stock it has on now.
I'm sorry but I can not reply to our other conversation. Make a templet to the shape or design to your liking, then, while you hold it in place, ( I use double sided tape ) tape the stock with painters tape. Sand the area to epoxy, cut a piece of screen to the size of the outside of the tape, then with a plastic knife, spread the epoxy, before it dries, remove the screen and then the painters tape. Remember to let it completely dry while it's upside down. The reason I use those cheap plastic knives is that because they are serrated, they leave the right amount of epoxy. Make a video, I don't know if anyone has one or not, just try it on samples. Good luck
Thanx for the video! Last Friday I ordered the same stock, with checkering, for my Parker Hale mauser 98. I'm nervous about cutting in the bolt recess. What tools and techniques did you use on yours? I'd sure appreciate any advice you could give. Barry Thompson
All I used was a round file, a flat file, and some sandpaper. When it comes to woodwork I have no idea what I'm doing so I took my time and kept setting the action in the stock to make sure I was on the right track.
Glad u've maintain the iron sights. i think removing them for scopes or the new rifles without them does disservice to rifles. Ur only getting 1/2 of what the rifle supposed to do. And, rifles look better w the front n rear sights even w the scope on or else, looks naked and to bare. U've mentioned u have experience putting new stocks to cheap rifles. have u tried that for Marlin M81 .22 riles or equivalents? Marlin made horrible crooked stocks for the .22s, their sears and other contract ones too. if yes on this Marlin, where did u get replacements? The used original Marlin stocks r all no good. All crooked and that's why ppl r selling them. Marlin .22 rifle stocks and even their bbl to receiver alignments r all crooked. Really bad QC control in their factories.
Good video. Just curious about much does it cost to convert from 8mm to 7.62x39? I have an old Mauser 98 with straight bolt that is begging to be converted to 7.62x39 to share ammo with my SKS.. Thanks NC USA
47killowatt I was very lucky: I bought the rifle used sight unseen from on online retailer here in Canada; it was already converted so I have no idea what it would cost to do it. On one hand I think it would be expensive but worthwhile to do, on the other hand it might be easier to pick something off the shelf like a CZ 527 or a Savage 10FCM Scout. Someday I'd love to have a custom 7.62x39 bolt action in SS that takes XCR mags built. In the next few weeks I hope to be doing videos of both the CZ 527 and the Norinco Bush Ranger if you're interested in bolt action 7.62x39s.
47killowatt After a day at the range I can say the CZ527 is decently accurate, and handles cheap/old surplus ammo like a champ. Love it. I'll try and get a video up in soon...
Sorry I took so long to respond! Yes, I just order directly from the Boyds website. I've done it a number of times and I have never had a problem other than the need to be patient. I'm hoping to get a pepper laminate for my Savage Axis SS .308 after Christmas: the factory stock is perfectly functional but it makes me wince ever time I look at it.
Looks great. I have had many mausers some shot fair,.....only one shot good groups,......it was I think from Finland it said S/A. They blew hot gas in your face I got rid of them. Now I'd only buy a Ruger Mauser. Perfect and new and will last you a life time. Military junkers may be worth $75.00 tops as wall hangers. I know a Ruger don't blow hot gas in your face.
I bought a mauser action 7.62x39 conversion done in the 70s somewhere in europe with a plastic stock and put it into a wood stock. You don't even understand what you're looking at.

+Christian Kryger Awesome, thanks!
Excellent info 👍. Is it click adjustable windage and elevation?
I wish a sight company would make some of those today. If priced right I would buy a dozen

Always easier to take off too little than having to correct taking off too much. ("Oops" is not our favorite word - for a reason.)
What a great project, you really selected options that look good together.
This is just personal preference, but I don't think you put too much oil on the stock at all. I like a nice glossy finish on wood stocks.

Hello I was wondering how or what did you use for the bolt cut out I will be doing mine this weekend any info would be helpful thks

It's just the basic grade.
Beautiful , how much in US dollar !
I tried ordering this same stock but what I received isn’t even close to an m98 inlay hopefully they correct the issue
Would that be a 22" barrel?

I might sound really stupid, but does Boyds make a stock for K98?
I like gloss. What timber is it
That is amazing, what all did you have to do to make it a 7.62x39
I bought it already done, except for the stock of course. I had a gunsmith check it out and he seemed to feel it was done back in the 70's.
