20 gauge stock repair

[Patrick Hanna]

Alan, I came into this thread after you had already decided to have the gun restocked. Well, I don't think you'll regret that. Do ask for your old stock back. You'd be surprised how many good pieces of wood you can get out of that: Grips for your .45 ACP, handles for chisels and knives. Drawer pulls. Etc. etc. etc. I think you've got my drift.

Patrick, thanks for your comments. The stock will not be replaced. A piece will be spliced into the existing wood and the original butt put back on. The original grip, checkering, etc will remain.

Here is the finished result. Original stock(what was left) butt and PG retained. Also retained original dimensions.
