New stock needed for d grade
 

Hello. I hate that this is my first post and I need help but here goes. I have waited and watched several years to pick up my first Parker. It finally happened with at least to my eye a nice d grade 12 on a 1.5 frame. I bought it to shoot and hunt with and it was actually more than I figured to get for the first one. So the gun came today and I went to transfer it and the stock was broken in half at the wrist during shipment. The rest of the gun to me seems good. The seller is willing to work something out and pay for or at least contribute to a new stock. I was looking for recommendations for someone to restock it to d grade quality and if there was a ballpark number I should be expecting. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hold onto your wallet!

That's what I was afraid of. Not sure what my options really are now. Today went from a great day to really bad pretty quick.

Is there any chance of fixing this stock.

Probably no need for a restock Andy. The wood magicians can work magic with pieces. Post some pics of the damaged goods and let's see what you have to work with. Unfortunate situation but you're a long ways from jumping off the ledge just yet, especially if you have a cooperative seller and we are not talking about a super high condition gun.

Ship it back to the seller & get your money back. The seller is responsible for refunding the buyer's payment, whether or not the item was insured.

Thanks for some hope Randy. The gun has good engraving and everything matches up and it seems to have been fairly well cared for but its definitely not a pristine collector. I wanted something that was a good representative but that I wouldn't be afraid to carry behind a dog. I posted pics but maybe they aren't showing. Im happy with the gun with the exception of the stock break. Any ideas on fixing or recommended wood doctors is definitely appreciated.

Andy just my thought on this. Return it. There are lots of reconditioned nice DH Parkers that you can buy for less money than what you can wrap up in this gun.
My suggestion if you want a good Parker, join the PGCA and place an ad in the want to buy section.
You will get several great guns offered to you at a fair price.

I should have clarified, this was based on having a new stock built. Lots of repairs have been done to broken stocks and hold up great. I have a reproduction 20 gauge that was broken in half and was properly repaired and despite a fall afterwards still not cracked, just some ugly dings in the stock.

There are some wonderful gunsmiths that could handle that:ggogle these guys

I'm sure there are many more, you gotta wonder how the hell that happens in shipping.

There sure is.

Try any of a few who are very capable of an invisible fix, like Brian Board of Timberluxe, Brian Dudley BMD Gunstocks, Chris Dawe in Newfoundland, TSD The Stock Doctor, and others.
