Mystery Stocks (Winchester ?)
I've got a couple of stocks I need some help identifying. Anybody know what these are?

glennjw,
This inlet appears to be for a pre-1946 Mauser because of the thumb notch that I've outlined. It's also a large ring in answer to the question below:
You haven't provided a good top view of the other stock so I can't comment on it.

glennjw,
To help identify your stocks, some specific dimentions will be needed.
As they appear to be Mauser stocks, lets start there;
Model 93 to 96 (small ring) actions have the two trigger guard screws spaced 7.625" (7 5/8") and the forward reciever ring of 1.300" dia.
Model 98 (large ring) actions have a screw spacing of 7.825" (7 7/8")
and a reciever ring of 1.410" dia.
To measure the inletted area between the barrel step & the recoil lug area (forward reciever ring), make a template of stiff paper with a pencil compass & sizzers. Do the M98 1.410" dia. first as that is what it looks like you have.

Hello and thanks for the reply. The other stock has inletting identical to the one you viewed. Would these be Mauser 98 stocks in your opinion?quote:Originally posted by nononsense

More than likely but it's still possible that it might be some variant. Generically though they look like M98 Mauser style stocks. The right, rear of the stock just in front of the bolt appears to be inletted for receiver sights.
