Brian, I really appreciate the response. Who said anything about Ebay?
Curious, was it the serial number that provided the info about trigger style?
Been on your website and you really do fantastic work so it's obvious you know what you are talking about. Have to say I was disappointed to hear your thoughts on my stock. I guess I see a few options:
- just make it a wall hanger which wasn't what I really wanted.
- repair in some capacity which might mean get it to where it's serviceable? This assumes that it isn't serviceable in its current condition
- Have it restocked as you suggested. I expect this option would be way more then this gun is worth so it would be putting a price on sentimentality. Problem is I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't sink that much in the gun at this time. Not unless I won the lottery.
Have to think about this for a bit. Out of curiosity, what is it about my stock that looked so bad? Just trying to learn so don't hold back. I've seen magic worked on everything from a crack to in pieces.
Before I go too far with this I should clear up something else first. When I take the forend off and shake the gun there's play in it. Probably check into this first to see if it's a deal killer.
