[QUOTE="Shifty, post: 1110428, member: 3622"] So my beautiful baby is gettin on up in years and needs some love. I decided some of my deployment money is gonna go toward her. Its not an all correct gun, thus putting new parts on it isnt gonna hurt the value. Not looking to spend gazillions of dollars here and come out with a showroom piece. Those of you that know me know my gun is a shooter, and wont stay perfect. Stock is cracked completly through, and needs to be replaced. Not looking for a particular finish here. Actually considering getting an unfinished one and doin it up myself, or with a little bit of help. Only concern here is something that fits well. Ive heard stories of guys buying a stock and then having to spend alot of time making things fit properly. Any recommendations? More importantly is a barrel. I dont know how many rounds mine had fired through it before I bought it but I know Ive put several thousand flawless rounds through it myself and its starting to open up. Considering mabye a match grade. Anyone had work like this done before and have a recomendation on who to take it to? For the barrel at least, can probably pull off the restocking myself. Like I said, not looking to make a museum piece here. This gun gets taken to the range and woods ALOT. Just looking for something functional and accurate. Thanks for any info. [/QUOTE]
