wingnut Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi, i wonder if any body could let me know of any one who can repair a 12g stock and fore end off a browning citori special, or give me any info as to how i can repair it myself. I was pigeon shooting the other week and caught my (unloaded) gun on a piece of barbed wire crossing a fence, it now has one deep scratch on the fore end , and one on the stock. The gun is only 2 weeks old!, i asked at my local dealers, they cheerfully informed me a new stock and fore end would be the thick end of £600. Any help would be greatly appreciated regards wingnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 depending on the depth of the scratch the laquer finish can be repaired, basicaly a carefull fill in on a prepaired surface, then fine grit wet/dry to clean up, if the wood is damaged itself then were talking a little different here, again take away the offending area of laquered finish, a cloth with hot water/oil will soften and swell up the wood to backfill the damage, then when clean ad dry you can repeat t he above, failing all this you may have to remove all the varnish and re-finish the stock's fully. Martin good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 If you go to Browning direct - forend is about £115 and stock £200 for grade 1. A secondhand stock went for £67 today on Ebay and I sold a newish forend recently for £35. So replacement Over this side of the Pennines there are a couple of Gunsmiths who could probably sort it for you. Harry Nich in Bolton and Ian in Oldham.
