How about laminating a patch onto the broken stock, to keep more of the original gun intact?I might get a 290 stock and dress it up a bit. I am most likely going to spend more than its worth but sometimes that is ok. Found a feed tube for it and that's $38 alone.
I have a stack of heart walnut lumber that has dried for two years but its 1 inch and I would have to Laminate a couple together. Plus I have built one full length stock out of a 3 pronged cherry stump once and its not a job for the timid.
Most likely something about like that first one you posted off a 290 would be fine.
i have a chunk of walnut u got a chain saw?
I still possess every gun I ever bought but one.I just got the pictures yesterday. I don't even have it in my possession yet but its a done deal. He is that kind of friend. When we were just poor farm kids we were always trying to horse trade sporting goods, camping, fishing,hunting around and he was one tough haggler. Kinda trained us for adulthood I guess.
Now, if he or I ask it's just a done deal. We have ripped each other off so many times it's like "Here take it ya bastige". He was asking if I had any recurve bows. Yep, and done, its yours. Now we just give each other whatever the other one wants. I have a LOAD of custom painted high end fishing lures. 2 bricks of 22 shells, a bucket of shotgun slugs, this gun and god knows what else coming.
He has a custom ocean sized Penn reel I restored he wanted to display in his shop, a recurve bow. about 20 graphite rods and whatever else he decides he needs. If he wants the keys to my truck I will just have to find another one. One and only one BEST friend. (I hope he hates my truck). lol,
He is going to come up and see me again after the crappie run down there.
But I will post some photos when I start. I was just trying to remember what happened to my own childhood 22. Can't remember, to many ago. I got a bolt action Glenfield 22 and I was always jealous that my brother got an automatic. Kids.
