Need Stock Help

[Blind Dog]

The straight grained black walnut of the Vs and Trojans is probably the toughest and least likely to break. I have not broken a stock yet, but the older I get, the more I stumble. So far I have managed to roll to my left shoulder and hip and come up shootin'.

Sad news for me and interesting ( perhaps ) for others.

I recently bought my first Parker Repro - a 12 Ga. DHE 2 barrel set, N.I.B, unmolested, unmarked and unfired. I chose this particular gun mostly due to the outstanding figuring in the buttstock.

I'm 'only here once', so I begun my quest for a Repro always knowing that I would be using whichever gun I purchased for Sporting Clays.

So, my very first outing with my new found beauty was at a 100 Target event last week. Loved shooting this gun which showed in my score ! Did have 1x fail to fire second barrel ( fairly sure my problem with the trigger ) and a double discharge !!
Was excited at the prospect of more shooting fun today, however, when cleaning the gun in preparation I found a hairline crack joining the top tang to the adjacent checkering. Boo Bloody Hoo.
Oh well, no more shooting with this ( fragile ??) little lovely till my stockmaker provides an opinion on possible solutions.
