Broken Stock Pics

[esetter - Gerry Addison]

As I promised attached are several pictures of the my 28Ga Reproduction that I dropped while grouse hunting. Sent the gun off to Dave Wolf in Waco Texas and he repaired it and sent it back to me to shoot and make sure the repair held under normal firing conditions. I have run 100 shells through it now and it is holding perfectly. I now am sending the gun back to Dave to finish the broken area. I'll post some pictures when it is all completed. If I know Dave, you won't be able to see the repair when he is finished. As you can see the stock was broken through completely. Dave said this is actually a good thing rather than just a crack because you can get good adhesion when you can take the stock completely apart. Also, it was a very clean break with no missing pieces, so it went back together perfectly.

Dave is a heck of a repair guy. I wish I still had the "before and after" pictures of a Redmond hammer gun that was broken into many pieces around the locks and tangs. It was invisibly repaired and now, many years later, is still being shopped around among local shooters with no hint that it was ever repaired.

Dave did a repair on an auto 5 for me, it was split at the end of the tang and the head of the stock was spread open about 1/4" He was able to fix it leaving the original finish on the stock, you would have a hard time finding it if you didn't know where it was. Very nice guy to talk to.

Here is the finished repair by Dave Wolf in Waco Texas. This was a spot repair as I didn't want to have the entire stock refinished. Dave said he could make the repair completely disappear if the stock were refinished. This shots are taken from a couple of inches away so when handling the gun you really don't see the repair at all. The stock was broken completely in half.
