[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1702593, member: 24284"] The stock is not ruined. It can be repaired by a competent gunsmith. I am not trying to be combative here. If I was, you'd know it. I bothered to go thru a 2yr accredited gunsmithing school. Stockmaking by hand , from a blank, was still taught then. Students were required 4 stocks by hand from a blank or about twice that many from a pre-inlets. I opted for the 4 from blanks. The pics posted show darned sloppy work, to say the very least. But ruined? I think not! As I have said, that 'mess' can be repaired and the action properly bedded. Curious as to your training that would have you say the stock is ruined. All I can see is some sloppy work, where no real structural damage has occurred . The gap under the bolt handle I commonly see from the Mc factory, and it would'n't be a structural issue, just cosmetic and a place for 'trash' to find its way into a place it's not supposed to be.
