Wanted, Broken Repro Stock
 

I need at least three inches of the rear end of a Repro stock in 20 or 28 gauge, with the buttplate still attached. A complete broken stock would be ideal. I have purchased an original Parker Brothers 20 gauge DHE with a 12 inch stock and wish to add to it. Thanks for replying. wilmrph@verizon.net

Bill are you familiar with the work of Mark Larson.... Check out the latest Double Gun Journal..he seems to work magic with guns that have extension problems.Best of luck with your restoration

Andy, thanks for the suggestion, but our friend, Mark, doesn't work on extensions unless they are already installed.

Bill,
If you get a stock broke in the wrist, that trick Travallion showed in the little book, the scarf cut with a mortise and tenon would be a nice way to go.

Thanks. I have not tried that method on any repair job, but Keith Kearcher does stock transplants fairly reasonably. I hate to give up the remainder of the stock I have. It is quite a nice piece of 1911 English.

I have a 28 that broke at the wrist and I had it repaired. Very hard to tell it was ever done but I'm going to sell the entire gun at a good price if you are interested. Contact me at esetter5@me.com if you would like to discuss it.

Thanks, Gerry, but I need the butt part of the stock. I have a nice 28 Repro and can't afford another.
