Parker brass pin repair

[B. Dudley]

Yes, walnut vaneer is the best way to rid ones self of a pinned head. I have done it a few times as well. And the line that defines the cheek panel is a great place for the vaneer seam to hide.
It sure beats checkered side panels if one does not want to take that route.
Nice work Mark.

Justin, congrats on taking a chance on that gun and winning! I watched that gun for it seemed months and kept trying to convince myself to buy it but the pictures and condition scared me off. Great find

Thanks Brian, I appreciate it. That means a lot coming from a stock maker.

What ever happened to all the old gunsmiths who repaired these split stocks with an internal staple?

I just repaired a split DH a couple days ago with an internal staple. It was a gun with a split head that someone with a pin hadn't gotten to yet. That is half the battle these days.
