Does anyone know of a resource to identify a Fajen rifle stock and what rifle it was made for? This is a stock that was left behind as part of my late father's collection, and I'd like to identify what it is for and decide what to do with it. I was able to do that with some Boyd's stocks that he left behind, by contacting their Customer Service; but since Fajen is not around anymore, I'm not sure what to do.

Based upon most of the rifles in his collection; the leading suspects would be Mauser 98, Win. Mod. 70, or Savage 10 actions. I also took some measurements with my calipers, as follows:

- Action screws (center-to-center) = 6.5"
- Magazine box = 3.3"L x 1.08" (Rear width) x 0.93" (Front Width). (looks to me to be for a medium or short action)
- O.A.L. of Bottom Metal = 6.7"
- Barrel Channel = Rear (just in front of receiver) - 1.325" W and Front (at end of fore grip) - 0.980" W

Thanks for any input you all can offer! :)

Just guessing - looks like a Remington 700 LVT stock
That's certainly possible. I also found in his pile of parts a stainless Remington heavy barrel in .308 Win.; and that has me wondering if he was planning to get a Rem 700 action and build a rifle on it.
 
Im having trouble with identifying mine as well. Bought it awhile ago and never ended up using it so i decided i was going to try and sell it. I believe it goes to a remington 700 bdl in 270 caliber but not 100% sure.
Action screw holes from center to center is 6.5inches
Mag box- 3 1/4x1 1/8(rear)x 1"(front)

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
