i know this sounds nuts, but you have a better chance of finding a complete wood set than just a forearm. have you considered that? that way there isnt a stain match issue or mismatched grain issue to contend with.

First off thanks for your service! Is Vanzant your facility? Looks like a great place to shoot. I have shot with some AMU guys on the rifle end and a couple of air force team guys, one rifle and one skeet. All great shots. Yes, if the right opportunity knocks I might go that direction because that may be easier. I am patient, I'll have it in fine shape some day. I would love to visit Vanzant someday and break a couple. Cheers!

i flew the MT-1X single saddle. sounds like your wood might be uncut and just has a pad was added. most pad installers sand the butt flat to make the flat pad match up. too bad. the original winchester buttplates have a slight curve. still its a nice modified stock with a' grade figure.
