JB says OK, do it. Mind you this dealer scares me.
It went for over $1500 ..... holy cow !
Never would have guessed that!
I think that goes to show what a good piece of wood can do to the value.
Just look at this recent sale on fleabay - WW II SPRINGFIELD 1903 A3 STOCK W/H.GUARD & METAL - eBay (item 200449908353 end time Mar-23-10 17:30:21 PDT)
Ouch!
Description says "Stock reinforcing bolts & nuts" but picture shows pins!
Wow! Wish I would have been the seller of that one!!
