I hope I’m not violating any rules by posting here, but I haven’t been able to get answers elsewhere.

I have a late-New Haven-produced, NIB Winchester Model 70 Featherweight rifle in 7MM WSM with a stock that was heavily damaged in shipment. The damaged stock is set up for 2-piece bottom metal, i.e., a separate trigger guard and floor plate. I found online a beautiful current-production replacement Featherweight stock off a rifle chambered in 308 Win. The potential replacement stock is set up for 1-piece bottom metal, i.e., trigger guard and floor plate all one assembly. Before I purchase the replacement stock, I have two questions.

1. Will a M70 Featherweight stock for a 308-length action accommodate a 7MM WSM action without any fitting or inletting?

2. I understand there are aftermarket adapters that will facilitate converting a 1-piece stock to accept 2-piece bottom metal. I believe I can also just buy new 1-piece bottom metal. Will both options work in this case?

I realize there’s a lot on the web about this subject, but there’s so much conflicting information that I’m confused. I’m hoping one of you Model 70 experts can help me out. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and recommendations.
