A good repair often just makes sense and someone who has repaired many stocks will usually add re-enforcements to the repair with dowels, screws, pins , staples, etc. Great chapter in "technicana" on it. I like the part where Mac States that DT has seen repaired guns come back to the shop broken, but always in another spot, not at the repair. I did one last week with a screw hidden under the drop point. I showed the customer where it was and he couldnt see it. I have lots of faith in the repair, but one never knows. Look at the math of it....I did the repair for under 1/5th of the labor to restock, not counting wood or stock duplication. Sometimes it is worth it to give it a go.
