I actually found a repro stock for $280.00 so I made the investment. I figure I'll keep my eyes open for a replacement barrel and just keep it looking like it should. Not going to cut the stock for the bayonet lug which I still need to find anyway.

I did some work on the stock to try and make it thicker and it just didn't work very well and I hate it. The glue was the big problem, it never set well enough to properly sand it.
