Welcome!!  The buttplate is no big deal, but how bad is the stock? If it cannot be fixed, then you surely got no bargain. However, if you shop VERY carefully for a replacement, you could still break even, so long as you just planned to use it as a shooter/plinker. As you are apparently aware, the "NRA" model is a REAL pitfall. Since ANY qualified gunsmith could make one, to realize any premium you MUST have the original bill of sale.

That's what I thought. I was thinking I'd get a Boyds "rifle" replacement stock and cut it down.But then again I think the stock can be fixed, I had planed on just keeping it as a shooter/plinker as you described. Oh well. :-/
