Hogue OverMolded Rifle Stock Mauser 98 Short Action Factory Barrel Channel Pillar Bed Synthetic

The Hogue OverMolded Synthetic Rifle Stock for Mauser 98 Short Action delivers modern ergonomics and reliability to a classic bolt-action platform. Built for shooters who want to breathe new life into a sporterized M98 large-ring Mauser or Czech VZ 24 without gunsmithing headaches, this stock drops right in and works with virtually all factory and aftermarket M98 trigger mechanisms. Whether you're restocking a hunting rifle or a precision shooter, Hogue's OverMolded design combines durable synthetic construction with functional details that respect the rifle's heritage while improving how it handles.

The barrel channel is factory-cut to free-float most #2–#3 taper barrels, measuring 1.180" at the receiver and tapering to .820" at the fore-end tip. The rubber-lined channel can be enlarged if you're fitting a larger barrel or a military stepped profile. Bolt-handle relief accommodates both bent-down and bent-down-swept-back handles, plus straight military bolt handles. The stock also features a hidden cutout for sliding-style side safeties—it won't show on rifles with standard wing-style bolt safeties but can be modified if needed. The floor-plate inlet is relieved for shorter FN-style floor-plates without front-tang lock screws, and the rubber can be trimmed with a rotary burr to fit longer tangs or push-button hinging magazine doors. Pillar-bedded construction provides solid, repeatable support for consistent accuracy.

This is purpose-built for the Mauser enthusiast: straightforward installation, thoughtful design that handles real-world bolt variations, and the ability to tweak details in the field if your specific rifle needs it. No permanent modifications to your receiver, no guesswork—just a modern stock that honors what made the M98 great.
