Bob,
I made a pattern stock then sent it off to be duplicated in English walnut, Dennis Olsen in Plains, Mt. turns the blanks for me. The G33/40 blank is from Preslicks in Chico, Ca.
Then I do the bedding, final shaping and finish work.

fubar,

Conetrols, or SK? (I see you have examples of both)

Also, the Argentine, and G33/40 stocks are exactly the same shape as I have on a 33/40, and a M48. Nothing has served to make the looks, asthectics, and function of a Mauser better.

Great thread, old or not. Almost enough to make me open a file-sharing account for pictures (almost).

Mako,
I prefer the S&K mounts over the Conetrols.
They are much easier to work with and lighter also.
And yes you should open a file-sharing account!
I would love to see your Mausers!

hmmmmmmmm


I don't doubt you a bit - but quite assure you I have the exact same shaped stocks on two rifles.



To include checkering? I have two stocks I'm looking for checkering work to be done on. The quality of of work on your examples is simply outstanding - and what I'm in the market for.

Thanks for that.

My "dream" is to incorporate a peep on the rear base. Conetrols, and SK with their smooth, seemless rings just look sooooooooo clean, it's going to be one or the other on a project I've got started.

Talley of course has that system, but not for military Mausers (at least not if they still have the stripper clip slot.

Mako,
Who did your stock work?
My 1909 was the same pattern as the G33/40 with some subtle mods.
The G33/40 doesn't have the cheek piece the 1909 has.
Tim Smith-Lyon does my checkering.
He is a great guy to deal with and I highly recommend him!

The other side of the G33/40
Mako, maybe your guy copied me? ha ha

Sweet baby Jesus...those are some classy rifles Fubar! You and EdM have some serious eye candy. Very nice rifles! Thanks for sharing.

The 33/40 was done in the fifties, or sixties, and built by JK Cloward, in one of his Washington state shops. I've talked with him, and even sent pictures of the rifle to get confirmation. Without hesitation, he identifies the barreled action as one he put together, but but can't say with certainty that he did the stock.

The M48 was built by Fred Cianciolo, now of South Carolina. He however jobbed the stock out, and for the life of me, I don't remember to whom.

I've got a couple other really nice rifles, but bought 'em with unknown lineage.
