My new to me sweet standard '49 in 300 H&H showed up with its stock snapped in half.... I've not had a chance to inspect it all but the metal appeared to be in very good shape at least before the mishap. If I opt to keep it and replace the stock, suggestions? Was all original, no extra holes, original buttplate, "300 Magnum", low comb.
That sucks about your rifle. The seller did not ship it in a hard case? I'm hoping he refunded you for the cost of a new stock... You should also post pics of the tang of your rifle.. Like I posted the other day, I've had 2 '49's and they both had clover leaf tangs... Yours may not be, but it might still be a good idea to post a few pics. I know if it isn't, you'll have a much easier time locating a good stock and it won't cost you as much either...
