1912 Chilean mauser stock

[HankC1]

I have couple 1912 Chilian Steyr mauser actions that I want to restore back to military configuration and want to find stock set (stock and HG) for short rifle, but all I can find are long rifle stocks. Can long rifle stock shortened to fit short action? A few years ago, short rifle stocks are pretty cheap and now they are all gone!

Milsurp stuff is like that. Here one day and gone the next. I suspect cutting a long stock to fit a short rifle will end up looking exactly like that. In any case, all those rifles were the same. So if you find an 1895 carbine stock like this, you're done.

1895 is small ring, 1912 is large ring. I actually have a FN mauser stock and a standard German K98 hand guard but they don't go together well and 1912 has a different rear sight opening. So many mausers and so many different stocks! If I get the 1912 long rifle stock and cut it, I am not sure if the nose piece would go together well. I will need the metal parts too, have metals from a 1895 mauser stock, but they are different. I do have another 1912 mauser in military form that I can compare with.

Edited 12/10: Never mind. I order the 1912 long rifle stock from Liberty which appears to come with HG and metal parts. At $80 for a complete stock set, not a bad price by today's standard. Hope it can be modified to fit short rifle (in 7.62NATO). Will see.
