the bottom line is straight til about 1 inch from the toe where it has lost about a quarter inch at max. The butt plate and bottom were sanded round. Not terrible but not right. A Silver pad would be a nice touch. The wood, though nice, is not great and matching it would not be tough but a period correct recoil pad would be an easy repair. I failed to mention the ancient repair to the wrist that was a break through which was well done. I have cleaned the stock(de-oiled)and am re checkering the grip and again, will never be pristene perfect anyway. I was thinking it may be better with buttpad. Opinion?
