Another couple of thoughts. It appears that the forend wood will have to be replaced. You can probably find VH wood on one of the sale sites. I believe you can find one without much difficulty. You will proabably need to work the wood to ensure a proper fit with your tip hardware. You will need scrapers ann prussian blue that you can find at Brownell's. You will need checkering tools also and at 18 lpi for the cutter. Do much practice on old gunstocks or wood before you work on the VH. This is important. There are few things more obnoxious than checkering that isn't done right.
Please continue to show pictures are you progress.
