Cracker Barrel. They repair it by nailing it up on the wall.
That gun isnt worth the trouble. Of all the folk on this board who need to hear that, I wouldnt have believed you would have been one of em.

My experience is that most folks in TN hold the L C Smith in rather high Esteem. On our Cracker Barrel walls, we find JABCs & perhaps an occasional Darne.

Personally, I have only ever owned one Elsie, it was a pre-1913 00-grade ejector & while it had been rode hard & put away wet, its stock was all in one piece & unsplit.
I have seen quite a few Boxlock Ithaca Flues's with split stocks, more than I have Smiths.
Not everyone in thia old world hates a Smith.
