If the damage to a wooden stock is truly a dent- meaning the wood fibers are bent, not cut, you may be able to unbend it- as least in part. A common technique is steaming a dent. By adding water to the wood, the fibers expand, and move back towards their original shape. I have used a damp cloth and an electric clothes iron to improve some older military stocks that have had a hard life. Moisten the cloth, wring out excess water, and place cloth over the dented area. Use the iron to iron the cloth above the dent- take your time, shift the cloth as it dries from the heat. This may take several applications over a few days. When finished, let the stock dry for a few days. Wood that has been ironed may have the grain raised, and appear somewhat "fuzzy". After it has thoroughly dried, you may need to sand the area with VERY fine sandpaper or steel wool, and refinish that part of the stock. This may not fully raise a dent, but can make it less noticeable.
