Send me the buttstock..I'll pack the carving with wood-dough epoxy, fair it out, and color it in.Or, youcan do that, too, Or, put a fancy veneer over the epoxy so it so it has 'splint personality' ;~`). Or splice in a piece of old walnut from a beater stock. The butt-cuff is good idea...Truly, that's a nice raffle-gun. I'd bet a replacement stock or Numrich take-off isn't all that much. There's a guy out in MidWest who makes lots of Marling stocks, too. Your blank, or his.
Just feeling optimistic today, and playing late lunch hooky at the computer, so don't get too cheered up by me. ;~`)
