a couple places to look would be auction arms .com or gunbrokers .com,,both gun auction sites ,,i checked gunparts corp and i see the forend but ther currently outa the stocks,,sometimes ebay may have one also,,but it's a hit and miss there ,,alot of time on ebay someone may not know what the have ,,so mix up your search criteria like "unknown gunstock" or "unknown shotgun stock" or even "gunstock" or any combination of the above,,whats wrong with your stock?alot of times a good gunsmith may be able to repair a stock for you ,,i have a gunsmith friend who i've seen repair some pretty bad stocks ,,and usually doesn't cost as much as a new repalcement.. if your is just a crack which is fairly commonn,,i've had very good luck with gorilla glue ,,but you gotta follow the directions properly and clamp them good and let them dry properly ,,this may be a good quick fix for ya till ya find a nice one ,,on the auction sites i mentioned you may even be able to find a complete parts gun as cheap as the cost of a stock and forarm...and have extra parts in case something else breaks.. also mabey do a search for boyds replacement gunstocks ,,they make stocks for alot of different models of shotguns and rifles..

thanks big curt..the reason I'd like to change the butt stock is..where it meets the receiver at the top on both sidesd there is aabout a 1/4 inch of wood missing...when you shoot, your hand hits hard on the two top edges of the receiver, making it really sore quick.
and also the stock had been shortened at tome point, and then lengthened out again Very Poorly with some other type of wood..Just looks bad and hurts to shoot it..
the forend stock is intact...just has a lot of age showing..Not necessarilly bad..but, I thought maybe If I got a matched set..it would make a really nice shotgun out of it!
I Bought this gun at a antique shop years ago...and except for the wood, is a VERY GOOD Shooter!!..All the metal has been refinish at some point..
Thanks again, Terry
