I have sporterized swede that has the lower end synthetic stock (ramline?) on it. It has the bold trigger with safety. Anyone know who makes a good synthetic (maybe pillar bedded) or laminated wood stock that will fit the stepped military barrel, and the bold trigger/safety?
Thanks in advance
I purchased one of the Fajan mauser stocks from Midway several years ago for my daughters Swede. It was one of the Kimber sporterized package deals they put out some years back. It had a cheap, probably Ramline or similar type stock on it and the recoil lug allowed it to move all around.
With the Fajan, I did have to inlet a bit here and there to allow for the bent down bolt handle and the bolt release, but it was a simple process with a hacksaw blade and a rasp. After fitting it to the stock I bedded it, threw on a half dozen coats of Tru oil and haven't looked back.
They are worth the look, especially if you can find one and/or catch them on sale. Might also look at the Boyd's line as well, either on their home page or through StockysStocks.com or on Midways site. You might have to do a bit if fitting, but it isn't too awefully hard to get them set right, and a Brownells bedding kit will have you in business in a weeks time.
