Wow, thanks. What is the difference between a small ring and large ring mauser ? unsure what I have. Don't like the nutmeg though. kinda looking at either Applejack or Sky royal blue for an extra $15. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/79c4d7...or-Options.jpg I would really like to personalize this rifle. If someone has a Husqvarna mod 1600,they can have this stock if they like. I will be pulling the ammo storage in the butt out though to put in the new stock.

Call yourself a Mauser owner and you dont know the difference between small and large ring!!!

Basically I think its the diameter of the receiver, Mauser 98's are large ring, M96's are small ring. Just to confuse things, your 1600 is a large ring action in all respects except the actual receiver diameter, where is it the size of a small ring... Got it? That's b/c the 1600 is a commercial action...

What this means is that your action will fit in a Mauser 98 stock but you gotta pack it out a bit round the ring
