I just got my sporterized Mauser torn down. Been able to determine that I have a Mexican 1910 made in 1933. I’m wondering if anyone knows where you can find a composite stock (other than ram line) that fits. I’m hoping to find one with some adjustments as I’m hoping to pass it on to my daughter when she’s old enough.

Im messing with one right now myself.
Something that's gonna fit right off the bat is likely to be a custom job, you might try one of the better stock makers to see if they will do it.
Ive read you can fit a small ring stock to them, but the one I have came in a decent bishop so I havent tried it yet.
There are much more knowledgeable Mauser guys than I on here tho, so they may have a better suggestion.

I've never inspected a M1910, but Ball says it's a modified M1902 which in turn is a 95 Mauser with some improvements (safety lug, gas shield.)
From the photos in the book it looks like the receiver should have about the same footprint as a M93/95 -- is there any chance you could find a standard 95 stock to test fit to the action?
Ramline used to offer a stock for the small ring Mausers, but I think that ship has sailed:

I knew someone that did a Ram line, and it was uuuum… welll… not exactly… ok it was kinda junky. He ended up making his own laminated wood stock. The info I’ve gathered is that the 1910 is the same blueprint as the 95, but third lug and a few other things.
I might look for a 95 stock. If nothing else it gives me an excuse to buy a 95 then.

I liked the composite material on the one Ramline Mauser 98 stock I had, but the action fit wasn't so hot and I ended up trading it off.
I think Boyds may offer something more tasteful in a laminate: https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/accessories/platinum-mauser-small-ring-324421k43zz

Oh yes! I’m rather Sad to eliminate the pretty piece of wood that is currently the stock. But, I think I’m going to do something else for now. I’m gonna definitely keep the old stock around. It needs refinished. It shows the where of many deer season.

I've just remembered a thread about fitting a Timney trigger to a M95 that included some photos of a laminated stock;
https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/timney-trigger-unit.850213/
Maybe you could PM the OP yamavira about the stock and find out what his experience was like.

I should mention, the rifle is currently chambered in 250-3000. I’m going to keep it chamber in that, but I may re-barrel it in a one to eight twist. I’m also thinking I am going to change out the very economy based Bushnell that my dad had on the rifle to possibly a Leopold or Burris. Haven’t decided on optics. I would like to find some thing I can possibly interchange to make the stock link shorter because my daughter is going to eventually shoot it. It’s actually the gun that I started hunting with, but by the time I was 12 years old I was close to 5 foot 10.

I hear you brother -- I was always the kid in the middle of the back row in class photos:
My wife has stopped shooting since her cancer diagnosis, but back when she did we had fun trying to fit a rifle to her petite dimensions:
Ha ha. I was almost done growing by that point, and I grew most of that in about nine months. I went from 4 foot 11 and almost 200 pounds to 5 foot 10 and 142 from December to August. And I leveled out and right at 6 ft. In our family, my baby brother is the tallest at almost 6foot 6. His Wife is just about 5 feet. I keep telling him that some of his thoughts on one size fits all rifles is not going to work in his situation
I’m also wondering if anyone knows about the safety conversions on these? And the triggers. The trigger pull on this one is one of the “20 lb 20mile” variety, and the safety lever has a nasty habit of turning itself off. The trigger probably saved me from poaching some clouds at various points, but I’m now thinking of my kiddo and it somehow bothers me way worse (any dads know what I mean? The above mentioned threads talked about a Timney for a 96 as far as the trigger goes, and I’ve seen the conversions for a 98 to a model 70 like safety (which I personally prefer by far)
Just wondering if y’all got any info…

Thank you very much for the tip sir! I think I’ve found what I’m after!! I also think I located a “hybrid” laminate I genuinely like… as much as it pains a purist to say.

Composite stocks are hard to come by for mausers even harder for a small ring. You can fit the 1910 in to a small ring stock but takes some work since the 1910 action holes are a bit different, but once bedded no one could tell. There was a company making light glass/ carbon stocks you need to fit but can't remember the name and there were like $400.
I figured that might be the case. I’m a bit of a woodworker so I expect I can handle it…
Boyd’s says “ … AT-ONE, MAUSER, SMALL RING, # 1 BARREL
CHANNEL Barrel Dimensions: Point A =13/16"
and Point B =7/8" Center to Center of Action
Screws: 7 5/8" Front Receiver Ring: 11/4" Overall
Length of Floor Plate: 8 3/8" Over All Length of
Part: 311/2" Comes with Boyds' 1/2" Rubber
Recoil Pad. It is your responsibility to confirm
the dimensions of your firearm with the
supplied dimensions of our part. ATTENTION
CUSTOMERS: This stock is designed to accept
the #1 Sporter Contour barrel. Due to the
numerous variations of hardware used on
these actions, we have not cut a bolt cut or
safety cut in our stock and final fitting of floor
plate may be required. All unfinished parts
have been CNC inlet to Boyds' House Action.
Final sanding and finish will be required.
Variations may exist from firearm to firearm,
minor fitting may be required to get that
perfect fit to your firearm.…”
it’s sure not much different…
I have one more question regarding this one. Every Mauser I’ve ever tore down, you stand safety lever straight up an then push in the plunger and then spin the end off the bolt. The current safety lever only goes up about 60 degrees, and it doesn’t allow the bolt to open when up. I’m suspecting I may have something simple I’m missing.
Hook the cocking piece on a ledge, pull it all the way out and shove a coin between it and the bolt shroud.
Then depress the lock pin and spin.

Id bet they are, my bolt had a 98 firing pin in it, cant imagine the other parts dont fit.
Ive seen the already modified shrouds for sale on ebay for 200ish, and the parts for 30-60. I may eventually do that to this gun If i keep it for any length of time.....tho I kinda prefer the flip up/down style for some reason.
This one has always had a tendency to work it’s way off. I wanna get the trigger worked on as well. It’s never been very great.
I’ve got used to that “model 70”style safety (I actually like the model 70 action over the 700…) and I like to try to keep stuff reasonably consistent.
