No doubt, your fore end is repairable. Perhaps not something for a novice, but how does one get good at anything without practice?

The draws can be patched with wood, the procedure is documented on a few places on the internet. Some good advice, and some not so good. But it is a simple concept to grasp. It sounds like that you have got it figured out already.

If you dont have the skills or tools to do it, then just put the stock aside. Reflect on the lessons learnt and leave it for another day in the future. You might get into these Lee Enfields and have a go at repairing it later as your knowledge grows. Repairing the draws is nothing magic, but it does need sharp tools and patience, and practice.
