Bought a virtually new AIII (.30-06) on an auction site. Stock was broken in shipment (don't ask me how the gun was packed by seller).
AS the action is literally unfired, I would like to complete purchase, but the negotiations (with seller and carrier) will begin tomorrow.
Wondering if a newer stock (75 or 85) will fit, as these are available from Sako.
Also, wondering what risks are assumed in buying a replacement stock (A3 from e-bay or otherwise) or a 75 or 85, and what should I budget for gunsmith fees to make fit 100%
Thanking you in advance.
