Most everything was there, and the bore was in excellent condition. The end of the stock had been hacked off just forward of the band. Perfect. I bought a end of a busted stock from Norway and hid the splice under the band. You'd be hard-pressed to find the joint even with the band removed, as it was a perfect match in color and grain.
Several coats of pure tung oil and Toms 1/3 wax later, and she looks quite good for someone born in 1917.
Now I need the carbine to keep it company.
