Question about an Anschutz rifle

Gents
I have inherited my late father in laws Anschutz rifle. Its a little worn and my plan is to fix it up and present it to my young son. I have a few questions about it and hope you can help me.
The calibre is .222, there are proof marks on the barrel with the number 64. I'm assuming the 64 is the year of manufacture however I cannot find the model number. The best I can conclude is that its either a model 1740D/St OR 1743D/St. I have tracked down a second hand stock that is in better condition the the one it has now and the seller states that it will fit the 1700 series rifles however it has a Schnabel fore end. The stock on my rifle doesn't have that feature. Can anyone hazzard a guess if it will in fact fit a stock made for the 1700 series rifles?

Perhaps a model 64 action, which I believe equates to what they sell as the 17xx series.

There's a fairly active Anschutz forum @ http://www.rimfirecentral.com/...orumdisplay.php?f=16

I'm sure they can answer your questions.
