    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • @TimeToBeKind
    @TimeToBeKind 9 років тому +2

    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.

    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.

  • @TimeToBeKind
    @TimeToBeKind 9 років тому +2

    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.

    gun looks good i just ordered a stock from them for my 1903 springfield

    • @antman8200
      @antman8200 7 років тому

      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

    • @antman8200
      @antman8200 6 років тому

      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

    • @ScaredStupid
      @ScaredStupid  Рік тому +1

      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.

  • @michaelbrooker1433

      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.

  • @MichaelStroup
    @MichaelStroup 8 років тому +1

    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.

    • @ScaredStupid
      @ScaredStupid  8 років тому

      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.

    • @ScaredStupid
      @ScaredStupid  7 років тому

      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?).

    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.

    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

    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.

    • @ScaredStupid
      @ScaredStupid  9 років тому

      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.
