I am in the process of restoring the stock on an old mauser 270. What looked like a forend tip is actualy the same wood with a narrow slit cut in it and a thin piece of white plastic stuffed in it. I don't like it but changing it won't be restoring it. What material should I use? would it change the value much if I used a black material? This stock has the same number as the receiver stamped in the barrel channel so I know it's an original. | ||

I can't imagine who would like that! Cut it off and fit an ebony tip in its place. A rifle with the "slip-in" white line spacer can't have too much collectors value IMO. And whatever value it has should be increased with a well done upgrade such as an ebony tip. What is the make of your rifle?

Its a commercial FN I bought it expressly for the purpose of trading / selling to fund another project. I figured I could un bubba it but bubba is to damned inovative. The stock looked like the cat had used it for a scratching post then someone "refinished" with a paint brush and some kind of varnish. The metal is pretty good except it has been drilled and tapped right in the FN on top of the receiver ring. Its a .270. I'll take some pictures if I can email them to someone to post. Thanks DW | |||
