Do you think this stock is......stock.

[Ed Blake]

No. That stock can probably be re-inlet resulting in a better fit, and, other details can be resolved as well, such as contour and checkering. Don't spend money on a new stock if you can make this one work.

[Bill Murphy]

I agree with Ed. A good wood person can bring this stock into a better shape and position on the gun for a fraction of what a new stock will cost. He will bring the whole stock slightly forward, allowing the gaps to be filled with the wood of the existing stock and fill the internal voids and screw holes with whatever he chooses to use. It won't be perfect and you shouldn't insist that it be perfect. The alternative is to invest a bunch of money in a restock or sell the gun. The gun is of interest to collectors whether it has wood or not. You will be getting private messages from those people inquiring about your willingness to sell. Lucky you.
