I just bought a really early 1903 Rock Island with a stock dated 1908. My problem is someone added a Lyman sight and carved out the stock....then filed the comb some to thin it at the top...it has a really fine stock with deep markings that are super clear... it also has a cocking piece sight so the cut out for the Lyman is a flaw....

Could anyone recommend someone who could do stock patching ? I have seen it done on other 1903 in service rebuilds and this rifle and stock is well deserving of restoration...

it has a 30:03 barrel (won't chamber a 30:06) dated 4-07 and the receiver has a 1908 serial number (Rock Island)

Even though I can't shoot it due to it's early number is sure is original and nice...

Thanks
Joel
