[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1702623, member: 91402"] Glad to see so many gunsmiths involved in this issue. I believe this stock to be worth saving. I have purchased worse at gun shows for cheap and turned them into excellent shooters. A wood stock that looked like this is a throwaway but as long as synthetics have a good basic structure they can be worked with. They may just get heavier as you add epoxy. Having been friends with many gunsmiths I would say that it is rare, and special, for a smith to be excellent at both metal and stock work. They may be a wizard with a lathe and milling machine and just adequate with a stock. Still, this work was poorly done by any standard. I suggest you fix it yourself. The internet is full of how-tos covering this type of work, it's a good learning experience, it's relatively cheap for materials, and you don't have much to lose by trying. [/QUOTE]
