LC Smiths have kept stock makers in
business since the turn of the last
century, here are some pictures
of a nice 2E that once had a 7 piece
butt stock, shown in the first three
pictures. The gun was restocked
in 1927 to modern day drop, cast, etc,
with a beautiful piece of English
Walnut. |

It eventually cracked, then cracked
again, then just fell apart.
When I dismantled it I had seven
pieces of wood in my hands, all the
pieces were oil soaked and the
checkering was gone, the entire stock
was black. I repaired it15 years
ago and it is still working fine. |

This next gun is mine, and it is a sad story. I was
hunting pheasants when I fell down a bank thanks to a
buried fence.

Below is an after picture, note the glue line.
Total time to repair back to this
condition was 5 hours labor. I was
hunting with this gun 7 days after the
terrible accident. |

Here is
an example of good and bad news for my own
gun. The good news is the gun above is back
together and looking pretty good. The
bad news is that we now have a bad wood to
metal fit in the trigger tang area.
This stock was made in 1909, it had been refinished more than once and
the wood was even with or below the metal
before the accident. The repair work took the wood
further below the metal. This gun should be restocked, and it will
be when I get around to it. |
This is what can be done with a
stock if the need be. This
expensive pellet gun came to me with
the butt stock broken off and lost,
all that was there was the fore end
wood.
|
The gun now has a nice
cheek piece which came from another broken
stock. |
