Default Need a buttstock for 1 1/2 or 2

Hello all, new to the forum and new to Parker guns. Have two, one has been modified and has lost much of its value as somebody cut the barrels down to 26". I plan to use this for Cowboy Action Shooting. The stock had a small crack and a reinforcing bolt through it behind the breech, going from side to side.
Decided to take the stock off to inspect the crack from the inside. Luckily the bolts on the bottom plate and the rest of the bolts and pins came out with great ease - no stripped screws! But the $^%#^*&!!! was when the stock was lowered out and basically all the internal wood just fell out in little pieces, right down to the safety switch pin and linkage assy (which actually worked!). The wood was soaked in oil and I now have basically a shell. Will be using light RST loads, but am concerned that even setting this down hard on a wood bench will basically cause the stock to just crack off.
It's an early hammerless, 1 1/2 (barrel says 1 1/2, flats say G and 2 and serial 876xx - the same serial # is on all parts but "2" is on the flats and buttstock wood but 1 1/2 is on the barrels.

The 2 means grade 2. That is a G.
