No damage to me, but the stock is shattered. Anyone know where I can order, or get
a good used one? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Interesting story! What do you figure happened? So if I understand you correctly, the gun broke in two, but the barrels were intact? Is that correct? I've had several guns break at the wrist, one a Charles Daley Miroku 20 gauge. Just glued it back together and she is good as new today. So far....

Glue it back together! My 28 ga broke in 2 at the wrist when I fell down while hunting a few years ago, and it looks like new. Nearly impossible to see the repair. Right behind the top and bottom tangs through the checkering.

Well, you sure has heck did a nice job of glueing it back together! I'll bet you excercised your military vocabulary when you broke it.LOL.

I have to be perfectly honest here. I had a gunsmith glue the Miroku back together and I can still see where it cracked, but she is not opening up again. I had a smith do it because the gun has that hard plastic finish and I was concerned that I'd chip it.

I have, however; glued several cracked gunstocks back together and they seem to be holding up okay and in some of them you can't see where they cracked. The trick is how you secure the stock after the glue is applied. (I usually use epoxie, but I've used Elmers too.) I have a set of spring loaded clamps that grip hard and I let it setup for several days.

Works for me.
