Here are some picture. The first 2 show the damage where the chip came out.
It seems to be glued back rather securely and I put a few rounds through the gun no problem. Appears to have been done quite some time ago. Other pictures are there just to show the gun. If the chip stays in I have no problems and will shoot a good bit of SC, skeet, and 5 stand with it. I really like the gun and condition except for the stock. If it comes out then I have to choose what to do:
1-shoot it with the chip out if I can which would really bug me every time I took it out.
2-Replace the stock to the tune of $1000 +. Option 2 is not a bad option as this is a tight, clean, gun in every other respect,
3- try and find one of those expert furniture repair guys other folks tell me about that can repair with almost no one noticing.
4 -OTHER!?
My friends and I call it the $2000 chip. The rest of the wood is rough but solid.
Be real interested in other opinions
Thanks
