I would second Edgar's opinion of Chris Dawe's work. He is a magician. JUst remember that if you have to send anything to Canada with a frame attached, that it will have to go through an importer as it is still treated as a firearm. This will add to the cost, so you should check this out. If you can send just the stock to Chris, you are in good hands. His work is stellar!

Here is the picture of my stock after Dave worked on it. If you look carefully you can see the slightly different color to the right of the drop point and running up through the top tip of the checkering. He didn't even refinish the butt, just blended the affected area to save me some money. Said he could make it completely disappear if we refinished the entire butt. Since this was my grouse gun I thought I would wait until it needed to be refinished and then have him do it.

Gerry, did Dave re-cut the checkering border closest to break and thereabouts? I couldn't tell from the angle of the photo. Dave did a good job for you.

I'm not really sure. He actually glued it up and sent it back to me to shoot for a while to make sure it held up well to the pressures of shooting and then I returned it to him for the finish work. I shot 200 rounds through it at skeet and there wasn't any movement at all, the the stock was solid as a rock so he finished the affected area. I don't think he has ever had one of my guns for more than 3 weeks. Super quick. Again, this was my hunting gun, so I wasn't as concerned about it being 100% perfect with regards to the cosmetic appearance, but I still think it came out looking very good. I never had anyone that handled the gun pick up on the break.

Contact John Garvin 111 Archie Dr Albany, Ga. 229-888-7891. He repaired a broken stock on my Repo several years ago.

I broke my 28 ga about 4 years ago. Glued it myself. No problems since. The repair is at the front of the checkering; all but invisible.

That break on your gun is pretty clean looking and should repair nicely.

Parker Reproductions. Ended up restocking it because the PGCA was not in existence and the people that had the guns made in Japan, Reagent Chemical Co., could care less.

It may only be that it sticks in my mind, and not so many in reality, but it seems there are more broken repros coming to the surface daily. Maybe there should be a registry for them. Apart from old and abused hammer guns, I don't recall the last time I heard anyone say they broke an original Parker.
