Stocks are not generally interchangeable. They were all to a greather or lesser degree hand fitted. Are you talking an A.H. Fox Gun Co. Fox or a Philadelphia Arms Co. Fox? Lets see some pictures.

The wood was ruined by someone trying to put some type of strange checkering
on it, plus it has numerous cracks and gouges.
I will need to restock it and would like to know if the early Philadelphia Fox
shotgun stocks and fore-ends are interchangeable
If not I would ask if anyone would know where to possibly find wood for the gun.
Thanks
If you are looking to restock you may want to contact jim Kelly at The Darlington Gun Works, Darlington, South Carolina. He restocked Bo-Whoop if that is any help.

Best Regards, George
