Thru bolt in wrist of parker double stock

[OH Osthaus]

the stock has split

the bolt holds it together but does not fix the problem

not "normal" but not uncommon -

many of these repairs will hold for a long time- some can be properly repaired, some cannot

but unless you are looking for a stocking project -

you would be better off finding one with out this type of issue

Thanks for the reply. I suspected that's what it was but didn't want to miss a good deal if it was not the case. Thanks again for the quick reply.
