It is fixable, but will always show to some point. If it were me, I'd send it back to the seller and get a refund. I doubt the shipper will pay off on repairs if it was improperly packed.

Happened years ago he gave me a partial refund, I knew it was fixable so I wanted to keep it.

That's a very cool gun and I love the checkering and the "matted rib" equivalent.

Did it come with a Lyman sight? What do the butt plate and inletting look like?
There is a lot of expertise here on stock repair, I hope the experts chime in soon.

That is a really neat rifle, for sure worthy of a proper restoration. Unfortunately the grain will always be going in the wrong direction through the wrist and it will be susceptible to further breaks if not handled properly. Let me know if you can not find the correct long slide 48, I may be able to help. I don't really want to get rid of one, but this might be a worthy cause. I to would like to see the inletting.
Thanks much for sharing, John

Id highly recommend you send it to Dave Norin in Antioch, Illinois. Dave is one of the best. Hes honest and hes one of the rare gunsmiths who gets work out in a timely manner. I cant say enough good things about him and Im sure others on here will agree.

Thanks for the recommendation, I know repairs like this have to be done right the first time.

Often paying others for quality repairs like this can cost more than you paid for the gun. That's not to imply those doing the repairs aren't worth the money. Just saying it's not always the best economical choice, and may end up being upside down in a gun when done. I do them myself, and have never had one fail later. How well they come out depends on how tight the break was, ans whether any wood was lost in the break.
