Getin touch with gun writer Phil Bourjaily.Sounds like his late father's shotgun, which had a similar flaw-- Phil's dad was not much for taking care of guns apparently, Phil had it re-done before his father's death by Orvis, if memory serves!!

Interesting if that proves to be true. I came into ownership of this gun in Kentucky. Does that sound like it fits the profile at all? Any idea where I would be able to find Phil?

I think Bourjilay still writes for one of the cast 'n' blast magazines (Sports Afield?). A Google search should turn him up.

A good stock guy might be able to invisibly repair your old stock and make it stronger than new. Call Dennis Earl Smith ("The Stock Doctor") in Oregon.

Too bad this wasn't a couple of months ago. I sold a 409 for $265.00. Had very nice wood. Overal the whole gun was nice but the barrels had been cut to 25" and cold blued.

Wow that sucks. I would have given you $265 all day long for that gun. It would be nice to have a donor gun in the event of future repairs. Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes! ; )
