Easy restoration. I would cut back to the band, and put on a replacement fore arm. Stain to match and off you go. I have done this several times on lightly Bubba'd rifles. You have something with yours, if it is all match and has Mum!
Thanks for the pics!!

We have seen worse...right here on this forum as a matter of fact.

I was thinking of replacing all the word and front hardware until I read Midmichigun reply.

Midmichigun .Can you show me one of your finished rifles? I am no good at visualizing anything. My rifle costs me $100 and the only reason I bought it was because of the whole mum.

A.F. I think that the lower band has been set back an inch or so and the rear swivel slot filled. Also the stock has been sanded. Usually I'm all for making a new fore end and handguard but in this instance I think that your matching with MUM barreled action deserves a better original stock. You might look for a non matching/ground mum rifle with a good stock and switch out the stocks. Or buy a good complete stock on EBAY. You will still come out ahead and have a very desirable rifle. Note also that the lower band looks modified so you need that also. Salt Flat

You need a proper stock for that. Do the playing around with this stock when you have a ground mum to put it in. I'd buy a cheap ground mum and swap it out.

In this case, I will side with the X- Perts. If the band has been set back, it would be hard to fix.

I can certainly show you a photo of one of my finished rifles if you still have interest... although I have a few "work in progress" going on right now...

Good luck!

Look and see what series your rifle is and post it here. I have several stock that were duffel cut and I'ver repaired and will part with one very reasonable. roy
