I removed the action and the barrel from the stock and did a more thorough inspection. Indeed, the stock piece that supports the recoil lug is cracked horizontally around half way down and can be lifted out. The crack does not start behind the tang but is the continuation of a hairline crack that begins behind the magazine well area of the stock.

With all this going on should I really mess with this stock or just buy a replace ment? This rifle is for shooting, not collecting.

Any recommendations on where to procure a stock? Boyd's ? CMPicon?
