STOCK The stock is original (which is nice) and it looks like it can be restored/refinished. I understand that I can actually clean up the checkering with a Riffler file for about $30 from Brownell's. The dark areas around the action are due to oil soaking which I am familiar with due to work I have done/doing on other gun stocks. But I’m not sure how to eliminate the dark vertical mark on one side of the stock but perhaps it will go away with the oil leaching process or some light sanding later? There is no butt plate, so I will need to purchase one, but was thinking that since I already have a Syracuse hammer gun in 12 bore with the full dog but plate, would it be appropriate to put on this 10 bore gun the butt plate with two pointing setters from the same period? Lastly, I will need to have a good Smith who can rechequer the stock once finished.
