If I buy the rifle, I do have a wood butcher friend that could help me. There is one other .303 with this one, with an octagon barrel, rifle butt stock that I would rather have. The thing is, it has a really badly cracked stock at the tang. Someone wrapped the stock at the crack with what looks like electric fence wire, and also around the back of the receiver. It was a good looking rifle before it was abused.
