Hmm, looks like an attempt at a cross over stock

Wood could be spliced in after cutting into that. But I doubt it would give you the right look.

I would go for new wood, and end up with a gun that fits you


An after thought -this may be a good candidate for a butt transplant. The original stock is cut behind the grip, and a donner stock or new wood is grafted on. There was an article about this in Shooting Sportsman a couple years ago. Properly done the joint did not show

This gun would be a good candidate for a "Butt Transplant" as shown in "Shotgun Technicana" by Trevallion and McIntosh.
