Hello all, looking for some help. My father has a Browning pre-81 lever action in .308 he bought brand new in 1975. It has been his only hunting rifle up until a couple years ago. A few years ago he had an uncle "refinish: it and it looks like ass. He sanded down most of the checkering and finished it with an awful tru oil finish that is chipping. He asked me a couple years ago to have it refinished and find new stocks for it. Midwest Gun Works had all the remaining inventory of parts for these guns but do not have any stocks of forearms left and will never be getting any.
Would anyone here know of another possible source, have a set they want to sell themselves or have some other idea for me?
Thank you in advance,
Mark
