He's telling me, he's going to make it look like it did the day my dad picked it up back in the 70's. My dad special ordered this gun back then, it's a 3" chambered, 28" full choke gun. Dad grew up in the depression, and loved his squirrels and rabbits, and didn't want any meat wasted. So, he ordered this .410, had his name engraved in the reciever, etc. He was a deadly head shot on small game. I grew up hunting with it as well, killing many rabbits and squirrels.
Anyway, my uncle "borrowed" the gun from dad back in the late 80's, and it came back to him with a hairline crack runing from the butt plate, to about 6" into the stock. I'd been wanting to get it repaired for a long time now, and another member on here mentioned Brian as a possible solution to my problem.
