Yup, New Stock
An update: we're definitely talking new stock. Tried unscrewing the butt pad to see what I had and the stock started to crumble. Close examination shows many, many cracks filled years ago with epoxy. Me thinks the stock is done.
I'm not too worried about market value, as I have no intent to sell. Just wanted to make sure I was not messing with anything too pricey before starting the restoration process.
Also planning on a new trigger guard and a new screw. And whatever else is needed. The goal is bring this shotgun back to safe and solid shooter status for my boys.
And Mr. Dudley, I'll probably need your help with this. I'll reach out privately.
