Dilemma, an old wooden butt renew or make new ones. My gunsmith told me it would be better to create a new butt and slide on my old 16ga gun. Because the old is quite damaged and all of the work of restoration would not be complete. Stock would be made of walnut with beautiful rings. The gun would be like a new time. I'm not sure what to do. I ask your opinions and suggestions. Thank you, Mario.

Check out these folks before you opt for a new stock. That looks like a pretty piece of wood you have under all that wear and grime...Geo

After Afterthought: I see you are in Croatia; might be a little difficult to ship to USA for repairs

Hello Mario,

It depends on how much it would cost you. A new stock will probably be more
expensive than the gun. JMHO.

Would cost about 400 EUR for a new butt, I do not know whether the gun is losing value with the new rifle butt because of age. Still, it original to the gun.
Thanks Jaycee.

Geo, I wish I am in America smile

Who is the maker of the gun? That information might help in the decision.

Manufacturer is unknown, some Belgian and unknown marks on the rifle. Some other guys on this forum (Raimey, ..) said clean up, then we may know more.
Thank you. Mario

Hello Mario:

You asked for opinions and I will give you mine: the firearm (I do not understand if it is a shotgun or a rifle) is of not high value (I mean market value, not sentimental value) so just make some refinish for the wood (a little sanding and some kind of oil finish) and that is. If you can make the small piece of missed wood, fine, but it is not escential.
Perhaps you can make the refinish by yourself saving a lot of money. I once made a wood refinish for a shotgun with a Brichwood kit, without previous experience, and the results was really fine. Little sanding, little filler and lots of oil finish rubbing.

Good luck with your proyect.

Best,


Jose M. Fernandez
