Yup. I fell on the edge of the cattails. Frozen ground is hard.

I've fallen and broken guns a couple of times before, but this one is quite a bit worse - the metal work is out of my league. The wood might be.

I had repaired this gun once - repairing an old repair and inserting some internal steel, but this was too much.

Constructive suggestions always welcome.
