I don't know the answer, but I'm curious to find out if the 1813 has the same inside-the-forestock dimensions. As I found with my 1913, the barrel is not exactly re-floated; the interior 'ramps up' about half-way down the barrel from the muzzle. My expert gunsmith milled out this wood and properly bedded the rifle, and now it's a shooter.
I put this on youtube for those who may not have seen it:

The first 10 seconds shows the interior of the stock. Right after that, you'll see how only about 11mm of the action rides the wooden stock - you really need to have a bedding job done on this series.
Oh - and the interior part of the stock is unfinished, so it absorbs moisture in high humidity and warps, causing it to fully touch the barrel unless you have made these mods. One 98% humidity indoor match with forced air induction (to blow off gasses and smoke) caused two 1913s to both go 30 clicks to the right where bedded rifles didn't. Ask me if I'm uptight about having to do all that work on a $3K rifle to make it a shooter!!

The 1813 was produced from 1980, until 1987 when the 1913 was introduced. The 1813 and 1913 both have the same Match 54 receiver, bolt, and 5018 trigger. Both have a barrel that is 69cm long, and approximately 24mm diameter. An 1813 barrel is marked 1813, and the foresight mount is a steel block bolted onto the barrel just behind the muzzle. A 1913 barrel is marked 1913, and the foresight mount is parallel grooves cut dirently into the barrel.
The 1813 was made with a wooden thumbhole stock, an adjustable cheekpiece, and hook butt. Early 1913 rifles had an almost identical stock, but the cheekpiece adjustment and butt have changed since.
