Custom stock identification?

[Zinz]

Gents,

I have this beautiful custom stock I bought along with several others in an auction lot a few years ago. I’m having trouble identifying the action it fits. The hole spacing and inletting seem to be Mauser 98, but the bolt cut out is too far forward, and oddly shaped for a 98…. Is it maybe a 1917 Enfield Sporter?

Some pictures

What say you?

Thanks in advance,

Ed Z

Here’s a picture of a Griffin & Howe in what looks like an 03-A3 action. That looks similar with the side mount peep. I dunno…

I think @Zinz hit the nail on the head. It most likely had a bent bolt, reason for no cutout.

It’s just weird where the cutout is placed. It is too far forward for any M98 action I have.

Damn shame… it’s a nice stock

The cutout is for side mount iron sight. No slot in stock for bolt handle because it was bent bolt for irons and no scope.

You can fill in matching wood with acraglass and do what you want.
