Broken 10 ga

[hugh rather]

Arrived this way.Knew it had been repaired.Apparently done with Acraglass but no reinforcement like dowels,plywood fillet or other.Gun is solid otherwise. What next?

[Dean Romig]

Are any pieces, no matter how small, missing?

Do not see any but cement covering surfaces ,it does flake off to a fingernail test so not a good bond.This stock is probably a replacement done at an old redo of the gun.This is apparently the 24th hammerless parker made. A repair of the type done with a fillet reinforced glue joint as described in Shotgun Technica (Trevellion and McIntosh) has been suggested .

Btw,the water table does not have the "E" stamp of a 10ga grade 2.I guess this is before they stamped letter grades on hammerless models.

if the glue is flaking off- i would suspect poor surface preparation/oil removal


if you want to keep and shoot it - get it to one of the pros who have a track record of solid permanent stock repairs and get a proper evaluation

I spoke with Dave at the Southern. He has around 70 guns in queue presently...

If you want an option, consider Dave Wolf in Waco Tx.
