Looking for a bit of advice regarding a Red Label 12ga...stainless receiver...that
has a broken stock. Not cracked...broken. Rather large dude used it to break his
fall as he went crunching thru the woods. It's not completely apart yet...looks like
the inner fibers of the wood are still in tact. Doesn't look like the receiver suffered,
but I do not know that. The break is right at the beginning of the rear of the receiver.
Questions:
Will/can a correctly done repair to the existing stock work?
Will the 12ga be too much stress for a repair?
Are there any used stock sets around?
Is this something a total newbie to fixing stocks should attempt?
I'm guessing there is a long bolt from the pad area to the receiver which is why it's
still attached, correct?
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance...
