David, as a hunter, and shooter, NOT a collector, before you have that stock reinleted, ect.... I'd find out what it's dimentions are. If you havent been fitted, I'd do that. If your measurements arent even close to what the gun is, I'd restock. There are resonable stockers out there. No point in spending a dime on stock work that isn't going to work for YOU. Specially as its a non original.
I recently picked up a vh 16 O frame with a rough stock. It will be getting a new stock. the required repairs and possible bend to make it shootable, by ME will make a sizable dent in a stock job.
