K98 sporter stock

I'm in the middle of sporterizing my K98. Actually, it's done except for a stock. I prefer a wood stock, schnabel forend if possible, for a military barrel. Any help on who makes a replacement 'sporter' style stock for this configuration?

Since the heyday of sporterizing militaries is past, it might be harder to find choices.
Here is one example.

Boyd's has been in business quite a while.

Your options (schnabel fore end) may be somewhat limited, so maybe best to give them a call.
Who knows what sorts of 'one of a kind' they might have left lying around.

You also might find someone local to whittle the fore end tip and to relieve the barrel channel if you are keeping the rear sight base.

You'll often find those older style take offs on ebay.
