Bill, thanks for the contact. I've been investigating that option so it's good to have the name of a member that does repairs. Question, if I were able to pick this stock up cheap is it that big of a job to install it? My guess is that it would have to be bedded to the receiver? I understand that "big" is a relative term and depends on ones abilities. I bet if I search the forum someone has done a write up on it.

You will be much better off having the crack repaired. Finding another stock that can be fitted is similar to finding a needle in a haystack.

Fitting a stock from another gun is a total crap shoot. It has less to do with ability and more to do with chance really. There was enough variation is manufacturing the frames and also in drops of the stocks that there is no guarantee until you actually have the stock in hand and can check it against your frame.
You could literally buy 12 stocks before one would fit. Or you could get the first one to. Obviously the possibility of your original stock being properly repaired depends on how bad the damage is and the condition of the stock overall.

If you post some photos, we'll be able to help you more. The others are right that you are better off fixing the old one if possible.

Thanks to everyone for the input. Think I'll take the majority (I mean unanimous) decision and eventually have it repaired. So, here are some pictures. Brian, I see you replied in this post so let me know the next step. If you need some additional/better pictures let me know

Please be aware that the stock you are looking at on Ebay is for a single trigger gun. A good amount of modification would have to be done to make a safety work on a double trigger gun.
After seeing photos of your stock, though i am sure it could be repaired in some capacity, i think replacement (with used or new wood) would be the best route.

Brian, I really appreciate the response. Who said anything about Ebay?
 Curious, was it the serial number that provided the info about trigger style?Been on your website and you really do fantastic work so it's obvious you know what you are talking about. Have to say I was disappointed to hear your thoughts on my stock. I guess I see a few options: - just make it a wall hanger which wasn't what I really wanted. - repair in some capacity which might mean get it to where it's serviceable? This assumes that it isn't serviceable in its current condition - Have it restocked as you suggested. I expect this option would be way more then this gun is worth so it would be putting a price on sentimentality. Problem is I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't sink that much in the gun at this time. Not unless I won the lottery. Have to think about this for a bit. Out of curiosity, what is it about my stock that looked so bad? Just trying to learn so don't hold back. I've seen magic worked on everything from a crack to in pieces. Before I go too far with this I should clear up something else first. When I take the forend off and shake the gun there's play in it. Probably check into this first to see if it's a deal killer. Kirk |
