I've bought another LH 300S

 You are far more excepting on the deal then I would have been. If the gun arrived broken then he should accept it back irregardless what you did. You simply tried to figure out what was wrong. The fact he was such a bitter individual regarding the damage tells me he knew that it was broken when he sold it and before he shipped it out.

That stock looks like it has some of the darker heartwood running through it? The heartwood is harder and gives beautiful grain figuring. I'd clean and polish the barrel and have it hot blued. That'd be great looking with that gorgeous stock.
