Is it broken right now? Or has it already had a repair attempt done to it?
Either way, it looks to be something that would repair well for a strong repair. Obviously a hands on inspection with the action off the stock is the best way to asses the repairs. Most of the damage goes through checkering, which is a big plus. Kind of an odd place for a break. Being that far ahead of the rear tang screw.

Ed, that poorly done repair can be redone so as to be imperceptible .

Bruce is right on but it depends on who you send it to.

Brian -I don't believe a repair has been attempted yet. I have viewed it a few times but don't know much about its history. I appreciate the reply - you do great work.
Bruce - thank you for the comparative pictures. If I do buy it I would much prefer to keep the original stock and good to know that it would be less than a restock. It's also going to need end work as it has been cut to allow for a rubber pad. It is part of a package deal with a B grade that has the floral type scroll work. The B also has a short stock and will need work. The B is from 1903 the A is from 1910. I will be ordering letters from Chuck next week and then might try some horse trading. Thanks gentlemen, much appreciated. |

I am not quite sure as to what Ed was doing by posting photos of that pinned stock.
John, Yeah, you will want to get letter info if available to see if maybe those pads are original or not on the guns. That is a big thing to determine. If they are not original, or cannot be verified as original, the wrist should be repaired and an extension with a SSBP installed. I have a couple of higher grade SS buttplates if you need any. If you need the repair to wrist as well as extension/blending work, I would recommend Larson for that work. However, if the wrist is broke, and it has been cut, you may want to consider a new stock given the amount of work it would need. It all depends on what you are into the gun for and if the stock also maybe has undesirable features such as poor dimensions. Your call.

Ed, I have a drill and some nice brass screws. I could fancy that up for you. No charge. But I've heard there is a master gunsmith up in your neck of the woods whose work I have seen in your pictures and I have been left speechless. Maybe him? |
