Ok
I would be more than happy to restore the rifle to its original condition if I were able to find the parts. With the amount of Arisakas produced it is still hard to find parts for it, especially a stock in decent condition. If the stock were restored would that affect value? Or would you leave it all banged up and dirty with plenty of scratches in it?
I will send the current stock to be re-finished and while that is happening I will be looking for a original stock. I will most likely build two rifles, one original and one carbine. It will be the best of both worlds.
