This Stock ?

Just to recap the fella that passed this stock down to me was a good friend that was very generous and a real character so I would like to make this rifle whole .

So I would like find a barrel and action that would drop in there and hunt with it .
I’m sure one of you fellas knows exactly what this stock was designed to fit
I think you fellas have said a P14 or P17 . If that’s the case I don’t see how the bolt would fit into this stock .

Well - You've changed your tune. Action screw hole spacing, centre to centre, has shrunk from 8 inches to 7 3/4. No longer a P-14 stock, more like a Mauser 98 stock. BTW - Looks like someone did some additional inletting on the stock.

Scaling the pic on post 53 looks more like 8.2" to me, which would be a commercial mauser.

Okay the best precise measurement I can get is 7 7/8 .
I’m not sure how precise the measurement needs to be to make a positive identification of what barrel and action will drop in to the stock

Well - Hole spacing is the governing consideration! See post #13, looks like you have a standard Mauser 98 sporter stock. Go to Intersurplus and look at the various 98 based sporters, Husqvarna made some nice ones using FN actions. You should be able to get a barrelled action or one with a cracked stock.

I emailed Intersurplus to see what they thought regarding the stock and what they think it would fit . So far no reply . Are they a super busy buisness ?

You are asking them to take the risk of making an ID, as a basis for a potential 350$ sale. There are easier ways to make a living. In the world of Mauser 98 based sporters, there is a tremendous variation in bolt handle shaping, trigger and safety configuration, barrel diameter, magazine configuration, etc. All of these customizations can affect the fitment of the stock, meaning additional work would likely be required to mate the stock. You have to decide whether you are capable of stickhandling this effort to its conclusion. Your progress has been limited to this point.
