Gentlemen,
I recently came across an Armi Sport 1853 Enfield at an excellent price. It's been around some, but over all the condition is pretty good - and fixing the few issues will still be cheaper than buying new.
When I took the rifle apart, however, I noticed that there is a hole and about a half-inch long crack in the stock around where the mainspring sits. I've attached a couple of pictures.
To cut a potentially long post short: If this was your rifle would you spend the time/money in defarbing this stock or would you buy a new stock and start fresh?
Thanks.
