[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1403465, member: 27307"] Commercial stocks for Mauser M98 or the Interarms Mark X are made for the most common barrel contour which is usually a sporter style, smaller in diameter than the larger diameters of the 'magnum' style. The reason is simple, they will sell more stocks for the drop-in crowd when the barreled actions feature these sporter barrels. They are not interested in marketing to the few exceptions so you have to either order it as a custom and wait or decide to let a gunsmith do the barrel channel inlet. McMillan will inlet for the Mark X as pointed out above but they will need to know the barrel manufacturer and the contour number. Allow 4-6 months. Richards will do the same inletting for you but again they need the barrel maker and contour number. Bell and Carlson has a couple of stocks with their aluminum bedding block. The barrel channel will have to be addressed by you or your gunsmith as they come with the sporter contour. Bear in mind that the Dremel tool so commonly touted as an amateur's inletting tool is the tool of the devil. It take skill and dexterity to handle it with any form of success. The best inletting is done by someone with the skill and machines (mills) to get the lines straight and the depth of cuts correct without having to resort to patching up their mistakes. If you want a fairly simple solution, look at the B&C then let your gunsmith inlet the barrel channel. I suggest doing a skim bedding job on the bedding block but other find this to be unnecessary. Good Luck with your project! [/QUOTE]
