Pinned stock head

[Dean Romig]

I remember one research letter that documented the order of a new gun specifying that the stock head be pinned before shipping.

That is interesting. Somebody knew something or just wanted extra strength just because. I guess the ones that aren't split out by now that are in decent shape will probably still hold up okay, or not. The new way they fix them now with staple and epoxy if not restocking probably works pretty well.

My dad just picked a up 12 ga vh shooter that had a dowel fixing a split. He went in and did the staple fix and gun stock is tight. Gun shoots great as well. Shot it a few times on some clays, and it shoots where you look.

How would you rate this pin job? There is some engraving on the parts I just cant capture it on my camera.
How much would this depreciate the value of this gun?
