Tim:
Just because you can't see a crack from the out side doesn't mean the stock head isn't split. I know this from long experience. And the VH is a prime candidate for splits. At any rate, an experienced hand should inspect and fix the gun. My bet is that with the wood off, there's a split stock head.
As another said, the amount you invest in a VH is rarely recovered. Fix it because it's a Parker -- and should be saved.

Best, Kensal
