I restocked a pre 64 300H&H and have the original wooden stock. Is that worth anything? Pretty it isn't but its not cracked or anything.

I'd like to have first dibs if you decide to sell it.

People sell them all the time. Just look on eBay and you will see some.

ebay should net you $250 plus, quite a bit more if it's in real good shape and all original.

Perry....Label that original stock, and put it away in a "cool, dry place." One day your decendants will be glad you saved the original stock.
Two pre-64s in my collection have been restocked, I think, because they were transition, low comb stocks. The original stocks were long gone when I purchased the guns..........Wish I had them, so I could return the rifles to original, if I desired. Grant.

I would coincider selling it but have no earthly idea of a RESONABLE value. If I sell it, it will be to an AR bretheren at a fair price. So what are they worth?

It is one of those items whose worth isn't easily established. The market sets the price and the market varies, it's not like selling a McMillan stock where you could price it at 75% of retail.

I sold one on ebay a few months ago and got a lot for it. WOuld have to look it up, but think it was ~$285. Even stocks that have been cut and bedded go for over $100. Definitely worth soem money, especially if no glass bedding or a cut stock.

I sold a pre-64 stock on e-Bay that had been altered and I said so along with pictures of the alterations. The previous owner(s) had sanded it down to the point the checkering was just visible and the forend was sanded so bad it had a shad-belly to it. I still got $125 for it.
