I would have a good stock man repair the compromised wood around the lock plates. That issue seems to be allowing the lock plate(s) to move rearward, judging by the slight gap at the front radius of the lock plate where it fits into the frame. But that’s all I would do to that gun. It appears very decent otherwise.
