Hi Daryl,

Thanks for that. And yes despite the repairs it's still quite solid. On disassembling it I'm inclined to thing the fore-stock is original and the butt-stock is replaced. However regardless of which it is I do believe this rifle deserved a really beautiful full stock replacement, as mentioned something I am seriously considering as a longterm project. I will however get it back together first and make sure it shoots okay and all is functioning as it should before I consider a (wood) restoration.

Cheers, Roy.

P.s. I would still like to get hold of a dust cover for the bolt, so if you chaps can keep that in mind I would be grateful.
