Better pics . . .

Nice work on the repair. I've always thought as long as you do the best job you can and it comes out to your satisfaction on your own gun it is a fine job. If someone points it out and criticizes it at some time it just means they are an asshat who probably couldn't do the repair themselves if they tried....

Thanks Sheister. I put a couple of coats of finish on it since posting. Sanded it down with 400 grit in between, with a final , light, rub down with 0000 steel wool to dull the finish slightly. Additional coats and sanding did help fill in pores and give the stock a nicer finish. I am totally satisfied, and as you say, anyone that doesn't care for it is welcome to do the repair themselves. I had nothing to lose by attempting the repair myself, other than the cost of a reproduction stock.
