Mauser 98 floorplates....differences

[tokguy]

I have a scrubbed WW1 era mauser 98 in 8mm x 57 ( Turkish stamps...Danzig provenance IIRC)
I was shooting it and it dropped the floorplate, the latch broke. Dropped the magazine load in the leaves, put it back in the safe...haven't looked at it since.
There is an opportunity for me to pickup everything but the floorplate....all the bottom metal... trigger guard with magwell and a functioning latch.
Question though...interchangeability?
There have to be units that will work and units that won't. How to cull the 'Don't fit units'.
Thanks for any replies...unless they are salty...then go kick rocks lol.
Regards
Tokguy

If it’s a gew98 action, any of those or k98k lower metal should work. Post war and those odd intermediate actions can differ. Stick with a wartime 1/2 German lower metal.
