    MK1 Airsporter stock

    My early MK1 Airsporter has a busted stock - a real ugly break that had previously been bodged with glues of whatever variety and a number of panel pins hammered in.
    Maybe it can be repaired adequately, maybe not. There is no doubt that any repair will never be hidden and I would like it to be something more than repaired.
    I believe that this is quite an early example, with the dovetailed front sight.

    Is there a chance of finding a stock to complete my BSA? Lottery odds?
