The gun is 12 gauge. The 28" barrels are choked F&F. I thought long and hard about whether to repair the stock or have a new one made. The broken stock will always be with the gun. The new stock will be what it is. I've had quite a learning experience talking to people that want the job of building a stock for the gun.
I was concerned about someone firing heavy loads in the gun after the repair, shattering the repaired stock and suffering facial or eye sight injuries. While I will be resting comfortably in my urn, if it happened and someone told me about it, I would feel bad. It's enough to take up residence in the urn without also having a guilty concience because someone forgot to tell the injured person about using only light loads.
