Now what do I do?

One of our posters just had an astounding repair done by Trevallion. Maybe he will reply and let you know his experience. I have seen the gun, once broken off at the grip, and it is really a great job, regardless of price.

now mind you I bought mine with a broken wrist. Its an 1896 gh its in great shape other than the fact that when I bought it recently at a local gun show the wrist was wrapped in copper wire, you could tell it had been repaired long ago, I looked at it for about a week before I had to see what was hiding under the wrap. So slowly and carefully I removed the copper to find that the stock had been broken at the wrist and repaired a long long time ago... Now I might be able to shoot it and nothing may happen, or ?
so I thought about it and hey, its my gun, it came to me, I bought it not for what its worth but for what it is, and I'm gonna get the stock fixed, done right, and maby long after I'm gone somebody else is gonna find it and enjoy it for what it is.. It belongs to me for now, im going to treat it right, shoot it and enjoy it until it someone elses turn

Can some one give me contact info for David Trevallion? Couldn't find a web site for him. Ray

Ray, I can highly recommend Dennis Smith the "Stock Doctor" he has over 40 years in the stock business and repairing broken stocks, checkering, and refinishing is what he does. Not to mention re-stocking. His work is excellent! I would give this project some careful thought if I wanted to shoot this gun and the dimensions weren't right for me with the broken stock I would lean towards building a new stock to fit me and retain the orginal for resale.
Good luck! Enjoy the journey!

Ray: Please come back and let us know how it turns out. Sounds like a nice gun and worth the effort!
