Keep old Stock or Sell ? ?

[Hylander]

I'm thinking of getting a new CMP C Stock for my 03A3.
Any reason to keep the one thats on it ?
Its a good Stock but it is a straight Stock and I want a C Stock

Is your A3 mainly a shooter or do you think of it as a collectors piece?
Are the metal components still in GI finishes (original or rebuild)?

It is a Shooter, a Hunting rifle, I don't collect anything.
It is all original, GI finish, all R marked parts.
I just don't see much of a need for the Stock to set and collect dust
if someone else could use it.

It sounds like the rifle could be restored but if you are not inclined to do that then I think you might as well pass the stock along to someone who wants it.

What do you mean restored, as in just putting the stock back on ?

Yes. If the stock is original and appropriately marked and if the metal parts are, as you say, all Remington and appropriately finished then it could be a candidate for restoration.

Never throw anything away. Keep it.

Sell it. Theres nothing special about it. If you ever want one again, they're easy enough to come by, if you want to spend the money.

If the scant stock is nice enough it will pay for the C stock.
