I haven’t yet, but I talked to my seller and he’s going to help me find a new one.

He everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is John from Ohio and I am a now proud owner of a nice authentic German Mauser. I’ve...

Though I wonder if when the recoil lug is reset then there will be a gap….

I guess I’ll probably give the repair a shot. I’ll try option 1. Would the dowels go all the way through the bottom of the rifle, so...

Oh okay gotcha. Sorry I misunderstood. Thanks for the help! In case I mess up lol, where is the best place to find a replacement stock?

So option 1 I would drill two holes here, parallel with the stock? Option 2 would be to drill a large hole through the wooden stock...

So would I drill the hole here? How big? And I assume all the way through the bottom of the stock?

How would I know if there’s a bedding failure?

Maybe I’ll give it a shot.

Is it a common repair? Like most gunsmiths would know what to do to fix?

What do you think is cheaper and easier to do? Finding a new stock or finding someone that can fix this one?

Yes it’s PCH.

Dang. Really bummed about that. Buyer beware I guess. Thinking a new stock will be the best option. Now just to find one that works…

100s? Probably not. 100 or 200 over time, sure. I have a box of 20 1940 Greek 8mm right now. Dealer said it’s non corrosive.
