Just know this: when you spend $1500 minimum on wood and a high quality re-stocking on a field grade gun, you are very upside down financially. That may not matter to you if you are committed for life to the gun. Otherwise, if the gun fits you, consider sending it to one of the master restoration experts, two or three which reside here, and let them make it beautiful (and proper) again for a lot less.
Even some of those Durston Specials had some decent French walnut.
