Argentine Mauser 308 stock?
Looking for a monte carlo stock for an angentine (sp?) mauser that is chamgered in .308 for a good friend of mine. Doesn't have to be fancy, he just wants to get something that will work with the scope he is haveing mounted on it. I see lots of them listed for "mauser98s" buy I don't know if that will fit or not I know virtually nothing about mausers.
Thanks GoodOlBoy

It depends
Which model Argentine Mauser are you referring to? The earlier Model 1891 or the later Model 1909? The Model 1909 is a true '98 Mauser. Hope this helps. All the best...

Gil is right ,you need to know if it is 1891 or 1909, carbine or infantry,and I assume it has been re-barreled as the original was chambered 7.65 x 53. Once you have that info there are numerous sources for replacement stocks,wood or synthetic. If I can be of help give us a holler. jplonghunter

The big problem I see hrer is that there are many variations on the Mauser theme. This can be a problem when doing a stock job. Even commercial Mausers by the same company will not easily exchange stocks. A good example is, I have three J.C. Higgins Model 50 rifles, based on commercial FN Mauser actions, barreled and stock by High Standard for Sears.I can remove one rifle from it's stock and is will not fit in the stocks of the other two rifles. This holds true for all three rifles. I cannot play switcho-changeo with the stocks of those rifles.
I have two other M50s, one built into a custom 7x57 and the other also a 30-06 that needed a stock. I got a Butler Creek synthetic and after working on a serious glass bedding job to make everything fit, it is now one of the most accurate rifles I own. You might look into a Butler Creek stock with the idea of glass bedding the rifle into it. They have a nice classic set of lines with a straight enough stock that a Monte Carlo cheekpiece is not necessary for scope use. Ramline also makes a stock that is usable but is a bit cheap looking, although they work well. With either stock, after glas bedding if necessary, the hollow forearm and buttstock should be filled with some form of expanding foam material. Keeos the stock from "booming" like a drum. The onlt other alternatives that I can see is gamble on a used stock that may or may not fit or gamble that that stock can be properly rebedded by a competent gunsmith, possibly using glass. I do have a couple of Mauser stocks, but none have a Monte Carlo and both are planned for use on other rifles I have on hand. Paul B.
