Like I said, chunks were falling out of the inletting, so I doubt this old stock can tolerate a major refinishing. The screws all seemed to be fine, but the wood clearly has absorbed moisture over the years. I guess I'm just going to have to keep my eyes peeled for a decent replacement stock. I've heard of the new ones from Boyd's, but I also heard their inletting is slightly off leaving a poor fit unless you're a talented woodsmith (I'm not).
