Enjoyed reading this, cheers. Regards the stock, I remember my 45 back in 1981 had the plainest piece of featureless beech ever seen, almost blonde wood with clear varnish. My teenage attempts at refinishing it were grossly inept. Superb guns but woodwork very variable and rarely good, if memory serves. Pity, the 45 is rarely seen on the boinger circuit it seems. Look forward to seeing some pics of your restoration. All the best.
