Dean, it is a litter out of the same parents as my star, born six monts ago.

Brian , how did you tighten up the wood at head of the stock? It looked pretty loose in the 'before' pictures. How did you 'pull' the wood closer to the frame?

Oh, the head of that stock was in a good amout of pieces. And the cracking spread back to just behind the upper tang. Between glue, bedding, clamps and a staple to finish thins off it went back together good.

These types of situations, though they are bad, are also good because no one had put a bolt through the head yet. Making a proper repair possible.

I've been shooting a similar gun since 1987 and it was my go to gun for a long time. It comes in at 5 lbs. 13 oz. with a feather crotch American walnut stock and a SST installed by Howard Miller himself. The thought of parting with it is not one of the things I contemplate with any measure of joy, but life is what it is. . .
