stock repair
First off, thanks to everyone that responded to my questions regarding my 1907 12Ga VH. I've decided to follow the advice given and get the gun serviceable without spending a ton of $$. Also this site is fantastic with the info available. For instance, color case hardening is risky and rust bluing can be done but can be hard to get looking right. I also saw one smith that looked to do great work but when you start getting into the several thousand dollar range, it gets past the value of what isn't a rare gun. Oh well.
Anyway, this gun has a crack at the wrist and it was suggested to get it repaired. Wondering if someone could suggest a person to do this? If it was someone around Omaha, NE, that would be great.
Another thought also occurred to me as something I might try. Several years ago I visited a place called Macon Gunstock in Warsau, MO. Anyone ever done business with them? I was impressed with their facility and from their website, I can pick up a stock for a little over $100. Granted, it still needs fit and finish but I do some woodworking so I might give it a go. your thoughts on this would be welcome.
