nice find- but be careful you do not end up in a money pit situation

please do not take this wrong - you can have a great shooter here

however

a repaired 2 frame 12 V grade is not going to be a high value gun- and repairs are not inexpensive (30" barrels?)

if it is off face - absolutely fix that - it will just get worse. -

the stock has been pinned - likely due to a split inside the head. if the wood is solid - it can be repaired better and with a veneer of walnut to hide the bolt hole it will look better

the other option it to find a good take off stock - it will likely need a little fitting- but its much more reasonable for this gun than a new stock

other than that - shoot it and enjoy it
