Well Ive taken it upon myself to do a conversion because it seemed relatively straight forward. My first wall i hit is i notice that the wood stock i bought is different from the stock of the broken K98 i bought from MAS from the boards. Here is the link to the bid for the stock. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRKif someone can help it would be appreciated. I'm thinking of tearing up the plastic Mauser stock first and doing the other some other time. I'm trying to figure this out before Friday when my JG Bar arrives from California. Also if someone can tell me the type of stock that is because apparently its German WW2...

Its a post war stock. You could try modifying it to be like a WWII one by filling in the finger grips, Making a hole for the sling and the bolt assembly disk, and shorten the handguard to the correct length.

As TommyGunner mentioned, you have a VZ-24 mauser. While unquestionably a WWII model, it is not German. Your actual stock may be a post war production and the real vz-24 may have been German manufactured (while Czechoslovakia was under German influence), but it is unfortunetly not the German mauser 98k that you probabley were searching for.
Sorry for the bad news, but vz-24s are generally more rare than generic 98ks. Polski

Well I'm either sending it to sgttom to be converted or I'll trade this stock for a wooden k98 stock ready to have a bar 10 put into it. I'll tack extra funds for the stock trade if the stock alone isn't enough. Most likley look for it on eBay again soon or on the for sale board on here

I don't think it is a VZ24 stock. VZ24 has a has a metal sling attachment under the stock. It could be an early Mauser (acutal Mauser made) and modified by another country. It accepts a spring band like a regular K98, so you are OK there... The VZ24 has the spring band attached to the stock. Look for the Mauser cartouche on the right side of the stock closer to the butt part... if there is one, save it! Don't cut it up. At first, I also thought it was a WZ29 Polish Mauser, but it has its differences. The Mauser Model 98 action is the most used around the world at that time. There were not "tons of variants of the kar98," as the K98k is its own unique variant, or carbine, of the M98 action. The K98K has evolved off the original GeW98 rifle in service during WW1 and the K98A and K98B. Countries and different firearms manufacturer bought rights to reproduce the M98. This led to variants of the Mauser rifle like the VZ24 (produced in 1924, I believe the Germans used this rifle when they took over Czechoslovkia).

I know they were not the same rifle, what I meant by variants was "rifles similar to the Kar98". Bad wording on my part.

I believe you are all wrong, it is a spainish ww2 stock. I used to have a couple so I know that it is it. They are really terrible stocks too. The wood is too soft for airsoft or real steel applications. It is preety much a worthless gun. www.gunsworld.com/spain/spn43.html

Ah, no wonder... I was looking at, from what I have looked up from many sources, a late Spanish M43 made in the late 50s with a different sling mount. The only picture I have seen that has the exact same design is the link waffenbruder posted. In another thread the OP listed, I did mention the M43 as a possibility So if you want, you can always try to find a Spanish WW2 uniform instead of German?
