I believe it is a Featherweight 12g gun with only splinters remaining at the receiver and locks. I've done the usual search and there are a few options but wonder if anybody here has experience with any sellers of such and might have comments. The gun is just a shooter so no need for anything fancy. Thanks for any help!

I think a nice a nice Argyle Knee High would work well...:)

There a few on ebay. Make sure you have a FW and not an R or regular frame. You might also post on the LC collectors forum.

good luck

L. C. Smith stocks do not interchange. Each one is different enough to have gaps and misfit areas that look like crap when this is tried, assuming you can even locate anything worthwhile, which I doubt. Experience speaking from seeing some of these attempts.

Send what you have to Dennis Earl Smith and see if he can salvage it. He does dome amazing work.

I would contact Jerry Andrews. 304-281-5776

Just out of curiosity Big Country, who is Jerry Andrews. I haven't seen his name mentioned here before. Thanks.

Jerry Andrews is from West Virginia and to many in the L.C. Smith Collectors Association is the go to person for L.C. Smiths. He is famous for fixing the Hunter One Trigger, barrel finishing, case coloring, checkering and stock making.
He has been referred to many that ask whom to send their L.C. Smith to for work. He along with Buck Hamlin of MO and a few others that I can't think of their names right now on the east coast are the best.

Thanks David.

As common as a 12-gauge Field Grade L.C. Smith is the cost of restocking one would be well more than the finished gun would be worth. Cut your losses and part it out.

The angle superiorly indicates that ebay stock is for a Regular frame (FW stocks would be straight), with several cracks. The seller did not post a view of the left side, which may be worse



As said, any used stock would need to be fit to the frame, and cracks in the head of the stock addressed - likely several hundred $s, esp. if the stock needs to be refinished after crack repair which usually requires stripping and de-oiling.

Dave wins.

Best,
