Hi Chris,
Somhow I missed your original post. Please tell me how you determined the buttstock to be non-original. Did you look under the trigger guard to see if the serial number was stamped there? If it is the original stock then you should keep it even if you restock to your diamensions as that gun with the original stock would retain more value. Relativly few C grade guns were produced and Bernard barreld C grade guns are highly sought after. To aquire this gun for a mear pennance was fortunate on your part. Good luck with it and please do post some pictures when you can.
