Depending on your skill wood can be replaced and on some rifles it's not worth the cost to have someone else do it.

This rifle I bought years ago because it had a long slide Lyman 48, a nice buttplate and engraved floorplate. The maker was unknown, still is, and the work was not top notch so I tried to put it back together myself. I made several mistakes that I , hopefully, learned from.

The rifle had been broken in two, a 1/4" steel plate was inletted into the side and then wrapped with many layers of black electrical tape. A piece of the stock was gone at the bottom of the buttplate.
