Brad Bachelder has put stocks back together for me and I couldn't see the repair. Have him look at this post and give you a estimate. 1-616459-3636 He uses something other than acetone to get all the oil out of the stock. Sometimes of the oil is deep enough, the acetone only gets the first 1/4" or so of the oil out. A year or two latter the stock will appear to be oil soaked again.

Has anyone explored vacuum extraction of oil? I've seen a vacuum kiln that dried wood in days instead of months

I continued to shoot this gun until the end of dove season and it has begun to crack in other places. I don't feel it would be wise to repair this one. Also the repair with the glass is separating. Another member is sending me a stock to try that is a d grade. If it works I will use it for now and just watch for a correct one. Thanks fellows. If I find a decent piece of d grade fore end wood I might make a Johnny Cash gun. Gerald
