[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1229932, member: 38494"] Hi Picked up a FN Mauser with made in Belgium on side and proof marks left side near the chamber. The distance between the screws is 7.765 and it has a wing safety on the left side. The Smith said it probably was originally a JC Higgins rifle. It had been re-barreled with a type 3 contour varmint barrel with P.O. Ackley 22-250 stamped on the side. Using a cleaning rod technique the twist seems to be 1:14 which was a little disappointing. The stock is not in great shape and I was thinking of replacing it with with a laminated stock. I checked Boyds and Stockeys but it looks like their stocks are for barrels with standard channel widths. I also checked with Richards Micro Stocks and they list a Mauser 98 commercial action that can be purchased for #3 contour barrels with short floor place which my rifle seems to have. Richards lists FN, Husqvarna FN, Sako FN, and FN 400 as fitting. They list the screw distance,however, as 7 13/16 between lugs. Will this stock fit? If not, does anyone have another suggestion? I plan on building this rifle for use in local matches up to 300 yards. At some point I will probably re-barrel to a 1:9 twist to shoot Lapua 69 grain Scenar bullets. thanks Robert [/QUOTE]
