This is a new reproduction stock for a German Mauser K98k. I have used these before and they are very vice quality and fit well. Expect minor fitting/sanding to fit your stock hardware such as sanding buttplate end edges, drilling buttplate screw holes bigger if needed, and inletting the rear tang screw hole if needed. It has been stained at the factory but I recommend a coating of Danish oil or linseed oil. This one has a few unique spots that are a result of how the stain absorbed into the wood grain...they are NOT dents. This style requires the long style cleaning rod and nut, flat type buttplate, and 30mm takedown washer.
