If I saw that stock at a show, I would not buy it for $5. Any carbine you put that on will look worse even it it is the "correct" stock. It may be possible to refinish the stock and try to hide the repair better, in which case it would definitely work out in the end, but I suspect the seller was happy to get a free McDonald's breakfast sandwich out of the deal. That said, I understand that $5 would be worth it to a lot of people, but just not me.
