I think it's a very cool and such a delicate little thing! 2 1/2"?
Too bad the stock is broken....I'll be watching it!0 -
Ward patent auto side safety, made in the early 1920's. They were made in Birmingham, but I don't know by who, as they show up with a couple of different names on the the barrels. They came with blued, color case, and nickle receivers. Most I've seen have the same break in the wrist too. 0 -
i like unusual, wish i had the $$ as the stock could be fixed almost un noticeable
i need to find time to work on a few of my own, have a couple of "side snap" single barrels need wood to finish0 -
What would it cost to repair that stock? "About"oldemagics wrote:i like unusual, wish i had the $$ as the stock could be fixed almost un noticeable

A good wood guy would be about 150.00 to 200.00 would be the numbers my guy would start at 0 -

like the next poster said, "about" $200
i originally started learning that kind of work from a local smith just so i could get cheap "junk" guns and be able to do them up for myself
just kinda snowballed from there0 -

Hope all is going well for you,

If you can avoid shipping charges - ie if you can find someone local to you...
The cost of duplication I'd someone has the lathe - stock duplication / cloning equipment may be more affordable than professional repair...
The stock is actually much easier to duplicate than the forend.
Just worth consideration IMHO.

the catch there Mike is, many would not want a NEW stock on an old gunmrmike08075 wrote:If you can avoid shipping charges - ie if you can find someone local to you...

most who send for refurbish/repair want to retain the look and feel of an old gun, but without missing chunks of wood, breaks etc.0 -
I am with you - we are on the same page...
If I obtained a duplicate and finished it to match and installed it I would absolutely retain and curate the original furniture so in the future someone could return it to original status or effect repairs - have a Smith or wood guy fix it...
In the meantime I would shoot it and display it with new wood - whilst keeping the OEM factory parts and maintaining originality as much as possible...
Wish a had a magic answer for you.

Re: folding in half O/Us...
I recall back in the early 80s as a young teen buying all sorts of gun magazines esp. the G&A annual "who makes what" book-like issue.
At the time, Sile was making/importing utility grade O/Us, including a model that folded like the one the OP points to on the auction side.0
