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 always had an extreme interest in WWII history and it’s been a dream of mine to own a Mauser. I’m happy to say I finally have one. Nice to meet you all.

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

To me it seems like mine doesn’t have a gap. It’s like shoved into the wood even.

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 both sides (top and bottom) would be trimmed flush? How big of dowels should I look for? I’ll buy the correct recoil lug removal piece, is there a video somewhere...

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 perpendicular (my first marked up picture from above).

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.

Gotcha. Thanks for the help. Bummed out this happened on my first purchase. Was really looking forward to shooting it. Gotcha. Thanks for the help. Bummed out this happened on my first purchase. Was really looking forward to shooting it.

Would it have to be a specific dot 1943 stock? Do you simply just drop the barrel and stuff in or do you have to set it?

What about trying to find a new stock? This one isn’t original to the barrel and bolt assembly.

I’m definitely not comfortable doing it myself. Hopefully there is a local gunsmith that is familiar with the problem and can fix.

This is probably what you’re looking for.
