Yes, there is someone on this forum that does outstanding stock work. Just cannot remember who! Someone will post shortly.

I have read that one can get a ding out of a rifle stock by putting a wet cloth over the ding, and then using an iron to create steam. The crushed wood soaks up the steam and then expands outwards to regain its original shape.
Never tried it myself, though.

Maybe post something in the gun leather and carry forum. Not a precise fit, but the skills to do leather work may carry over to stock fixin'. Or they may know someone who does stock repair.

DWFAN should be able to fix it if you can connect up with him.

I have a tool just for this operation-- if it is a ding, then it might work-- also it might take several tries, that being said, if it does work there might be a bit of touch up needed. If the wood is gone, no it will not work. Go slow and be careful. I would let dry between tries as well. JMHO

I've used steam to raise dents, often.
While the books all say to use a wet cloth or paper towel, and then an iron, I've found that putting a drop of water directly on the dent, and then touching the drop with a soldering iron works the best.
If that's a dent, it should raise it. If it's a cut/notch/missing wood, you are outa luck.
