Browning Gold Evolve Buttstock
Had a reputable, local gunsmith attempt repair of a cracked buttstock on my discontinued Browning Gold Evolve 12ga (Browning It 011149303) because I could not find a replacement after months of searching. First attempt was epoxy only and didn't last a full box of shells before opening back up. Second attempt included epoxy and a pin. That repair lasted 100rds or so before a third crack appeared. Now I'm resolved to the need for a replacement stock.
Cosmetics are great, so I'd ideally like to replace the Turkish Walnut with same/similar, but at this point I'm just looking for fit/function. Love this gun. Light, super reliable to date, and it's a beauty.
Any recommendations? Based on review of other forum posts I believe I need a B1116541EK (Stock 12, Evolve) or B1126155EH (Stock 12, Evolve, GR II) and that a GR III would not fit.
Is my only option a custom ($$$$) stock at this point? Browning sent me to MGW, but no luck there. Keeping an eye on Gunbroker.com and Numrich, but so far no luck.
Hoping someone out there has one or can confirm those are the correct buttstock part numbers that would work or has an option for an alternative stock that would fit.
Cheers! TN via LA, Enginassi

Arts Gun Shop in Missouri. Check with him. He worked for Browning for many years and has many repair vids on YouTube.

Might want to do a post in the 'Want Ad' forum also. Good luck.
