Just to close to loop on this gun. As I stated it had a crack at the wrist from the top tang down to the trigger guard on one side. The gun was originally fitted with the hickory rod and that keep it together. I did not want to soak the wood to de-oil it to glue the crack (and lose the original finish and character) so Brian Dudley suggested a carbon fiber 3/8" rod be inserted up through the pistol grip cap past the crack, glassed in place. I couldn't be happier the gun is now completely stable with zero movement.
