Tomc,
Welcome to the Board. We learn a lot here and share a lot. We hope you will be able to join us in both endeavors. Restoration is fun, but can be expensive. If you feel handy you can do much of the work yourself. Somethings are best left to professionals however. If are you confident in disassembly you may want to start by ensuring all parts are in good order. Then you can have a stock made or buy a partially inletted one. Try Great American Gunstocks for a turned, semi-inletted one (http://www.gunstocks.com/). Feel free to ask questions along the way. We have had threads on almost every subject from blueing to case color to stock work.
Jim
