Two years ago at Hausmann's I was having ear protectors fitted by a guy who also dealt in walnut stocks. He said he had literally hundreds of stocks he was able to save when he took an industrial chop saw to the loads of "turn in" and confiscated guns brought to him by the police to destroy. He told me he would cut them (assembled) in half about an inch or so forward of the standing breech. The cops let him have the wood but the metal was to be scrapped. He said he was forced, by contract, to destroy some of the finest old SXS shotguns he has ever seen.... among other clunkers and wall-hangers.
