Bought a stock and forearm from Dakotadan on ebay and they both look very well made. I'm putting the butt stock on my circa 1920 99F on .303. The only oservation I have is that the forearm is a bit shorter than the forearm on my 99F. The butt stock appears dead on in shape.

If you do not find a replacement, you might take a look at Boses. I've not used them but I have heard nothing but good from all account. http://www.bosesguns.com/

Send them the broken one and if they can't fix it they can use it as a pattern to make one.
