    Mike, I tried to email you, it came back.
    I found that stock. It has good potential for a shooter quality gun. Definitely not for a Turnbull $tyle restoration.
    The grain flow through the wrist is perfect. Very solid stock with the exception of one minor crack, an easy fix.
    It will require some material removed around the top tang. The lop is 14" including the 1" pachmayer pad.
    It's a nice solid piece of English walnut but probably not quite the equal of the original. LPI of checkering is about 18.
    Plenty of material to work with to sand it off and rechecked @22lpi. I checked the fit on a receiver and it should be glass-bedded. Sorry it took so long to get back to you, email just came back today.
    If you're interested let me know, DW
