I found a Springfield Armory Model 1898 in the garbage at work today. The serial number is 419539. The rifle has some condition issues. The stock is completely broken about 2 inches behind the trigger guard. The metal is in nice shape. Action on the bolt seems good. It is also missing the sling. The barrel is not cut down.

I tried to do some research online, but decided to consult the experts. I would like to make a project out of this, and restore it.

My question is.....can I get an original stock replacement? Is it worth it to do so? Where can I get one? How much should I pay?

Ultimately.......Should I just put it back in the garbage?

Any help is much appreciated.....Thank you!
