If you want to keep the exterior orig, cut the ribs in the forend and epoxy in arrow shafts. Try and insert one end into the solid area next to the action screw pillar, under the recoil lug.
Second is to epoxy on pieces of plywood or lumber on the exterior. Start from at least 1" behind the action screw hole.
Shape and refinish. You can widen the forend to work better on a pedestal rest.
Either method does a great job of turning that floppy stock into something very useable.
The material in the stock will take epoxy very well so you can cut and paste wood onto the stock to change it into any shape you want.
Good luck and post pics.
