First, figure out what you have, then call Boyds and get them to help you. And no, not all Mausers are the same. Are you sure it's a 98? Not a 48? Not a 95? Military or commercial? I had a guy bring me a B&C Medalist stock because he couldn't get his Mauser barreled action into the stock. Magazine box was different from the inlet, trigger housing was different from the inlet, barrel contour was different from the inlet. He wanted it done and he got it done! Could have just bought the right stock and he would have been money ahead, but he wanted to use that stock. So, the lesson is "make sure what you have first".
