If you mean the gun fitting dimensions….? In theory yes: 36mm to 56mm nose to heel and 14 3/4 inches for length of pull. However there have been a few different variations (525 particularly) which have varied from their catalogue measurements. Of course any second hand offerings could have been altered to fit a previous owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I Believe 725 and the mk38 are the same low profile action so 535 unlikley to be the same 425 don’t know about never seen or held one Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylye Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Sorry. I should have been clearer. Will the stock/forend be interchangeable between these models.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Knew what you meant, but I can’t help I’m afraid. I know from experience that Winchester 101 woodwork is interchangeable, as I often put the trap fore-end from my 8500 on my Field model. I would think the Browning would be, as would the Miroku, but Miroku to Browning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylye Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Dunno Scully mate. I was trying to find an answer before the morning and I was relying on the massive depth of knowledge on PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Wylye, I can’t answer specifics about the woodwork being interchangeable. As Scully says the Browning woodwork should swap over. However, they are subject to some hand finishing. I have used these guns a lot and they occasionally show too much individuality for woodwork to be swapped about (if your unlucky). Give it a go, it could randomly work, but gently does it - they’re not robot made Berettas. That’s all I can offer. I’m only a user of these guns - but hopefully a gun smith might be along soon to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I have put a 525 stock straight onto a 425 perfect fit, I don’t know about the forend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylye Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Thanks fellas. Sounds like they should be compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Only way to be sure is to try it . Even on production guns there can be slight differences that will stop a stock from fitting correctly . Wood may be above or below the metal ,guards may not seat or pin holes not line up .Stock bolts vary in length. A lot of these are epoxy bedded at the back so may need some work before they fit correctly with the bearing surfaces under correct pressures .

Gordon R Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 All the three guns cited have common woodwork. The B725 would not fit any of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gunman’s post is spot on - reflects my findings also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny English Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 From what I can recall the only slight variation might be the bottom corners of the action. The newer guns have a slightly more rounded corner on the bottom of the action (bigger radius), think this came with the 525's not sure if or when it changed on the mirokus.
