I had a Repro 28 gauge in the late 80's - early 90s. Around 1992 while woodcock hunting I missed a shot and swung over for the second shot. The barrel was pointing to my left and my stock hand was under my chin. The stock had shattered at the wrist and I now had a 4 piece gun instead of the usual 3. Back then there were no extra repro stocks available so I had one made and got rid of that turkey as soon as I could. The broken stock was the final of all the problems I had endured in the years I had the gun. Down the road it went.
I still have the two pieces of stock wood around here somewhere, I think.
