As for refinishing that old stock, it is a very easy do-it-yourslf project. I will send you a PM for instructions if you like. I have finished dozens of old stocks and flintlock rifle I have built for over 45 yrs. Sandpaper, 0000 steel wool, Paint remover, stain if it isnt walnut and elbow grease is all that is required. Oh, and an old toothbrush to get the old finish out of the checkering after the paint remover has done its deed.
