Dan: Thanks so much for the reply on the stock ferrule. I had never seen an original so didn't know of it's true purpose. I was thrown off some by the fact that in restocking Mausers over the years all the old military takeoffs had a ferrule which is still available from Brownell's and Midway. Their main use was to keep the stock from splitting at the rear tang, as a correctly bedded M-98 has a socket on the recoil lug that mates with the recess in the front of the trigger guard. This Parker has no automatic safety to begin with so a ferrule is not needed. Again, Thank You So Much!!!! I am learning more from you guys all the time. Lee.
