I like to collect oddities, that's the main reason i bought it.
I was wondering if whatever this rubber/plastic sleeve goes over is just a couple pieces of wood that act as a cheek riser and an extension on the butt-plate, I may chance it and try to peel it off and see.
If the Original stock is toast, i'm guessing not any gunsmith or stock maker could make me another one. Does anyone know any that would take on work for it? it still has some of the case hardening left on it, and the barrels have some pitting but it isnt horrible. From what i can gather darne made the barrels fairly thick so it shouldn't be a problem as long as its not as bad as that thread from the darne in Mexico.
I like to buy older firearms and surplus guns and i hate to see them Bubba'd like this one. ill have to mull it over the long weekend and figure out what to do.
I really appreciate the answers you gentleman have given me and the patience of working with someone that doesnt know squat about SxSs. Ill update you all with what i decide to do.
