Alan, I came into this thread after you had already decided to have the gun restocked. Well, I don't think you'll regret that. Do ask for your old stock back. You'd be surprised how many good pieces of wood you can get out of that: Grips for your .45 ACP, handles for chisels and knives. Drawer pulls. Etc. etc. etc. I think you've got my drift.

Old stock
Patrick, thanks for your comments. The stock will not be replaced. A piece will be spliced into the existing wood and the original butt put back on. The original grip, checkering, etc will remain.

Yes, that's beautiful work! I can't see the splice in your photos, but I guess that's the idea, isn't it? Congratulations.

Superb workmanship...and at a fraction of the cost of a new stock, I would imagine.

I have a cracked stock on mine is well, to the point it is loose and probably dangerous to shoot. From all the info I have it is a 1901 12ga vulcan steel #2 frame VHE all matching serials, the bore looks pretty good. it has some light rusting. Do you think it would loose value if I Were To Replace The Stock entirely? It's not worth much anyways but I have a hard time repairing/restoring anything knowing my attempts are reducing the value.

If it has a broken stock that makes in un usable now, then it should be replaced. Either with a new one, or a sound original replacement.
Making the gun a sound shooter will surely improve the value. However, a poorly fitted or repaired stock will not make it worth as much as it could be. Granted, if the gun is in average condition, a well crafted new replacement stock would not make the gun worth more than the repairs would cost. But it would be a proper repair and restore the functionality of the gun as well as the overall value.
