That looks very nice. Mine is pretty ugly. The last 3 or 4 inches are a different piece of wood and a comb was added. I'll try to get a picture up. I may strip it and see what there is to work with.
What would someone expect to pay for a custom stock in the same grade as the factory wood?

Here are a couple pictures of the stock. There are also some holes drilled in the forearm. The forearm was also sanded down about 1/8" in that area. I wonder what they were for? Perhaps some sort of hand rest?

My guess is they were keeping score of how many times the old girl broke one hundred straight.
