Considering the quality of the workmanship, the quality of the wood and its remaining condition this feels to me like a bargain at the price it sold for. It appears the action tang was contoured. Who else reshaped tangs when building rifles on the Springfields?
Not hard to remember Petrov's creation of a rifle starting only from the Wundhammer stock that he found. It too had a serious stock flaw that was repaired by a very gifted gunmaker. This rifle I believe sold at auction for something over $3,500 and was beautiful.
If I owned the stock my face would hurt from smiling so much.
