Of course, that grain across the wrist doesn't help at all in the strength department. Highly figured wood like yours is a very good example of why Parker Bros installed the hickory reinforcing rod from the butt right up through the wrist of the stock.

I have a guy here in Michigan that could probably fix that. A number of members on the BBS have used him and all have been pleased

Dean, I'm confused a bit. When did Parker begin to install a "hickory reinforcing rod from the butt thru the wrist"? This gun is a 1928 CHE and has no such rod in it. Was this an addition that Remington added to the fold when they took over? I certainly understand the application and obvious need for such a rod, wish mine had had one from the factory.
