That is very pretty. Good job Brian. Someone sure went to a lot of trouble cobbling that stock together in the past! You do what it takes sometimes.

Thanks for the compliments. It was neat seeing the rather quick transformation by Brian. As for earlier repairs, I think my grandfather grafted the piece which I'm guessing then broke elsewhere, hence the screws. It came to me wrapped in hockey tape with the advice not to shoot it.

Thanks for the info about this weekend. I will unfortunately not be able to go. I haven't had much practice either. Does anyone recommend ranges in CT?

Wallingford is a really nice sporting clays course with some challenging targets and it is often open to the public. Some of the regulars at Wallingford can answer questions better than I.

You can shoot AA's in your gun without a problem.

Mike,
As Dean said we get together at Wallingford Rod and Gun Club quite often to shoot our Parkers on their clays course. Use this link http://wallingfordrodandgunclub.org/ and click on sporting clays for their schedule. PM me or Dave if you plan to shoot their.
