Stock Question

Will a stock off a Savage Fox Model B fit a Sterlingworth? They look very similar.

If anyone has a stock they would be willing to part with for a 16/20 ga or knows a place to get one made a 'reasonable' cost let me know. I have a Sterlingworth that was my grandfathers that has a cracked wrist, the gun is not in that good a shape, but I'd love to shoot her and I just cannot justify spending $2k on a stock right now for a gun that has more sentimental than monetary value.

A broken stock, and even more so a cracked one, can often be repaired and made shootable. In fact, if the value is mostly sentimental, that would be my first consideration.

Doubt it could be made to fit; certainly not without a lot of reworking. Mike's right about repairing it; I've seen some amazing things done with broken stocks.

thanks for the help everyone..... I had the stock looked at and have gotten a few quotes, one guy said it was un-repairable and the other 2 wanted in the neighborhood of $400-$500 to fix with no guarantee it would hold. Thought I could find someone that was restocking and grab their original, but its turning out to be more more difficult than I thought!
