The Hogue Grips Full Bed Block Stock is a purpose-built rifle stock engineered for shooters who want to restore or upgrade large-ring Mauser rifles with a modern, ergonomic wood platform. This is a drop-in replacement stock designed for M98 Mauser actions and Czech-made VZ 24 rifles, making it an ideal choice for hunters and shooters looking to improve handling and comfort on classic military-surplus or sporterized builds without requiring gunsmithing.
Hogue designed this stock to work with virtually all M98 trigger mechanisms—factory or aftermarket—straight out of the box. The barrel channel features a free-floating design that accommodates most number 2 and number 3 taper barrels, with rubber lining that can be carefully enlarged if you're fitting a larger or military stepped barrel. The stock channel measures 1.180 inches at the receiver and tapers to 0.820 inches at the fore-end tip, providing a solid, secure fit. The design also flexibly handles different safety styles and bolt configurations, including bent-down or swept-back bolt handles and side safeties, giving you genuine versatility across different Mauser variants.
The Full Bed Block Stock includes thoughtful details for common Mauser builds: the floor-plate cutout works with shorter FN-style plates without front-tang lock screws, and the rubber inlet accommodates push-button hinging magazine doors. If you're working with a different floor-plate style or longer front tang, the rubber can be modified with basic tools to fit your specific setup. This is functional, straightforward gear for the shooter who respects the heritage of the Mauser but wants modern comfort and control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this stock fit my M98 Mauser without gunsmithing?
Yes. The Full Bed Block Stock is engineered as a drop-in fit for M98 large-ring Mauser and Czech VZ 24 actions with virtually all factory and aftermarket M98 trigger mechanisms. No modifications are required for the trigger system, though the barrel channel and floor-plate areas can be customized with basic tools if you have an unusual barrel profile or floor-plate style.
What barrel tapers does this stock accommodate?
The free-floating barrel channel is designed to fit most number 2 and number 3 taper barrels. The rubber lining can be carefully enlarged using a rotary burr if you have a larger taper or need to fit a military stepped barrel.
Does this stock work with side safeties?
The stock is designed with a hidden cutout for sliding-style side safeties. If you have a rifle with a common wing-style bolt safety, the gap will not be visible. The design can be modified to accommodate other side safety configurations if needed.
Can I use this stock with different floor-plate styles?
The stock is cut for shorter FN-style floor-plates without a front-tang lock screw and accommodates push-button hinging magazine doors. The rubber inlet can be modified with a rotary burr to fit longer-tang floor-plates or other styles if your rifle uses a different setup.
