Commercial mausers in military stocks

Would a commercial mauser action, specifically the dumoulin ones on sarco fit into a newly made military style stock from boyds? Toying with the idea of building up a new military style mauser

I used a Boyd's walnut Prairie Hunter with a #1 barrel channel for my Dumoulin build. The stock had to be fitted for the depth and width of the action. So no, they don't just drop in.
But they will fit with the proper amount of work.

I figured it wouldn't drop in but wasn't sure if just opening up the stocks a bit would allow it or if it'd be a bigger project. Thanks for the input. How do you like your dumoulin?

I like it just fine. It is, what it is. A commercial Mauser action that looks better than an old untouched milsurp. I am happy with the purchase and the finished rifle.

The trigger guard/floorplate parts don't usually fit very well leaving a lot of space around the commercial parts.
