I agree Des. I definitely won't be taking her to the range until I get those cracks glued, clamped, and stabilized. With Christmas so close and new car shopping on the agenda for the wife, I doubt I'll have much time for the next month to work on her but it will eventually get done.
x2 That is a beautiful stock but I would take care of the crack were I shooting it. Wonderful graining....love the Artic Birch, they come 'grained' in so many beautiful ways.....
Nice going. Persistence paid off. It's really something how people get weird when selling guns sometimes. I've had the same thing happen before.
