Sorry if I said anything harsh Wayne

I did read your post - yes a competent gunsmith can answer that question

But since few sales allow disassembly to inspect

I still think most folks are better off passing on bolted guns

And of course that is just my opinion


Your mileage may vary

I have a DHE 20 where the stock has had a dowel put through it. The cheeks are checkered and the repair is almost invisible, another is a 16ga VHE skeet where the repair (I assume it's a repair) has been covered with a diamond shaped inlay of wood which is a different type than the stock. I have used both guns for years and have had no trouble with them.

If your looking for a gun to use ask the seller to remove the stock for inspection or allow you to have a knowledgeable gunsmith do it then evaluate the head of the stock. Don't discard the gun because of what might have been a simple and sound repair.

Thanks for all the info guys. I've got a lot to digest. The answer is not cut and dried. I do feel better educated tho. Thanks again.
