Since you have a fair amount of money in the thing the money spent has to be taken into consideration and that means doing it right or NOT AT ALL.

With the cut down barrels I would Rebarrel & rust blue bone charcoal recase the Receiver and restock with the equivalent or better wood. This will not be cheap. But at the end of the day you have something that U can be proud of.
Forgot to add, this does appear to be a CE grade gun. And I will get the letter to find out about the original specs. I am researching some items now, but it looks like the stock might not be an issue. Long term I will re-barrel when finances allow or if I have access to the machines and someone with the knowledge that will teach me how to do the re-barrel. Obviously David is giving me advice on this as well.
