Hi Runar: I don't think any one is tired of your restoration projects, in fact me and most here eagerly await your posts as they are informative and educational when we can seem how you solve all kinds of gunsmithing tasks. Thanks for sharing your amazing fabrication skills with us.

Runar, please don't stop posting your build & restoration projects. It's always great to see how you do the things you do.

I'm glad you asked if we're tired of seeing this because it made me look at your post history so I could find out what I've missed!

Can you restore that stock to firing shape with a full break that bad or will you need to replace a section of the stock? Can't wait to see what you come up with. Any idea what your plan is yet?

I always find your threads most informative. I always love seeing other’s approaches to repair and restoration.

NO thing boring about any of your posts and the time you take to do these jobs and then post while you do it is well worth watching and we respect your efforts to restore antique arms we would never be aware of without these pictures.Keep it up,we are always waiting and they are always interesting.

ingenuity & skill.

Thank you guys Im humble!The first thing I alvays check is if the gun loaded, and yes this was a big loud of blackpowder and shot maby 100 plus-minus old!And all metal parts in water like the old timers. The stock is then glued with Brownells bedding wery nice and can be building , the next is new wood with lockpanel.

Fascinating to see how it’s done by a master.

So how bad is the process for lining up those stock sections and getting pressure that pulls them together? Do they tend to flex in to the side on which the board they're also strapped to is placed?

Runar, I never tire of any of your posts. I always learn something from them. They've made me a more knowledgeable and better gun maker.

Runar, that Acraglass is great stuff, should make a fine repair! This looks like a fun project. Carry on!

Runar,

I always look forward to your repair stories (sagas?) on this forum! I learn things from watching you and as a person who spent many years fixing wrecked cars, I can appreciate the skill and thought you put into a repair. Thank you for sharing your projects!

Excellent Runar! Thanks for showing us firearms from another part of the world that I, for one, am not too familiar with. What an education you provide!
