I have a 1917 Danzig and recently bought what I thought was a Gew 98 stock for it. However, the handguards I've looked at buying online appear to be longer than what I need based on the barrel step length from the front sights. It looks like I need one that is around 5 inches or so, but the ones online are closer to 8.5". Are these meant for a 98K?
Also - my stock does not have a side groove on the right side for a band spring for the middle band. It just has a small hole. Did I not get a Gew stock?
