New to this forum. I have just purchased an 1898 rifle that has a better than average bore and good, but worn metal. The stock is original but has a badly repaired crack that unfortunately goes right through the cartouche. There is also a small chunk of wood missing from under the side magazine. Would it help to have this stock repaired, or should I just get another one? I thought about getting a boyd's stock and setting the original aside for posterity, or in the case I should ever sell it.
