Glued it all back and 'Linspeed'ed it.plus the repaired stock is refinished too.fair job on the refinish.checkering isn't filled and still good.the repairs probably could be better.but if the glue is good.look servicable. I can tell what happened to the front-wood.somebody unscrewed the barrel/forearm assembly.and then 'levered' the forearm downwards off the barrel and busted the pretty wood!! They can be fragile when it gets too fancy and you have to help them along with some reinforcement along the way.
Sounds like extra fancy wood American Walnut. Sometimes one will just hit me right and it goes home. I always take a second look at guns like this, Sportsman 48's, 11's, 10's, earlier Winchesters, Stevens, ect. You lived with the small hole and the crack where it had gone so far. One method of repair was to drill a tiny hole at the end of the existing crack to end it's travels. The crack would continue back into the receiver metal and weaken the structure. they used to develop a hairline crack in the receiver wall there from the metal flexing during firing. I think they made them in 4 grades,ADL, BDL, and 2 that were factory engraved (Expert & Premier?).Ĭheck the right side of the receiver,the long thin open slot that the bolt handle rides in when in full recoil.Īt the very end of that open slot (the extreme left end as you hold the shotgun).
