That will be a difficult repair cosmetically, the damage will likely always be apparent to the casual observer. It's a damn shame that stock got broken. Beautiful rifle.

That said, repairing the wood is your best first step, then look for replacement wood as you choose. If you choose AAA custom replacement wood, most 1899 lovers will want it for the caliber, and be willing to pay extra for the nice wood.

Collector value is gone. You have a great 1899 barreled action in a desirable caliber!
