You took a gun most here would not have even bothered to take if offered for free. Repaired it, improved the looks of it and made it into at worst a nice wall hanger and at best a decent shooter. Not every gun needs or deserve a complete restock. Yes the repair can be seen by a trained eye or if told where to look. But if a trained eye could not see it they would have to be not very well trained.

No attempt to hide the repair was done to fleece a future buyer. If the stock breaks again no big deal. This is not a one of a kind rare collectors item. It is a klunker given new life. Good job and thanks for sharing.
