Many have suggested here and in PMs that the stock should be repaired at the pin and then recheckered. I wonder that advantage? The repair is sound and I'd have no problem shooting it just the way it is. I've always liked the "survivor" look and thought a new looking stock on an old gun looked funny. My fear is that once I got started I'd end up restoring the whole gun.
I'm not going to keep this gun but I ask these questions here because I have an AH in similar condition I've thought about restoring. The only difference is that the AH doesn't have a broken stock. Otherwise, it has the same wear with no CCH left, damascus barrels worn, etc. Is it really worth spending all that cash to restore?
Best, Ray
