Sorry your father is no longer with you.

Charlie that sure looks like it's deep but maybe you could try and steam most of it out before you have to take half the stock off with sanding to remove it.

Agree. You wouldn't be able to steam it out, but Bruce is correct - steaming it heavily will at least get some of it to expand before sanding. Give it several days to sit and dry before sanding. You'll have to take some of the stock away sanding, but it'll be better than having that big fake stamp there for sure.

Hi Charlie, here is one I did awhile back. My customer has this nice HW Win stock that someone tried to enhance the WRA stamp. Turned out terrible. We decided to remove the original/enhanced stamp and put in G.I. type plugs. You could either plug or patch the repro stamp on that one. Wouldn't have to steam and sanding would be minimul. JMHO

Regards.....Frank

Frank, the type of repairs and work you do is a lost art for sure. Thanks
