Take a close look at the wood to metal fit at the back of the action. Adding $2k to a GH action with a stock that needs final fitting would not be wise. Add to that amount a few hundred $$ to fit the stock and perhaps more to build and checker a new forend and one would have to spend $3k plus the unknown auction price of the action for a rebuilt gun.
That is more than I paid for a very nice DH 10 or equally nice GH 10 with British proofed for 3.5 Tons. Better shop around...
PS: I've learned the hard way that when an old gun has external "issues" it probably has internal issues as well. Anyone got a couple extra top lever springs, and complete safety parts... I should have known!
