Beag,
What they forgot to mention was...That one piece sliders are perhaps the easiest doubles to restock. The action inletting is only slightly more complicated than a fore end iron of near any other shotgun. Shown below is a barreled action that I bought for $125...I inletted the action with my beginners inletting skills...when I got to the tough part (the fore end escutcheon) I paid a local stockmaker...it turned out so well that I also paid him to inlet a skeleton Niedner butt plate, but you don't have to go that far, a regular buttplate will do.
I'll bet there are 25 guys right here who would gladly buy your barreled action should you choose to not restock it...
As you can see, I haven't checkered the gun yet, but at under $250 investment, it feels as though I'm probably "safe" in my investment.
The whole action is like one big fore end iron...as you can see from the pictures
