Any better pictures on this rifle and the bad stock repair? Interesting rifle too bad on the break.

It looks as though this one may go to a new home but not before I restock it for a client.

That one brought more than I would have guessed. I sold it to a client who was going to re-stock it but he changed his mind. The metal is very nice on it.

Steve,

Would you care to venture a guess as to what caused the damage? I don't recall ever seeing a stock broken that way, and i have seen quite a few broken stocks.
It's hard to believe that Hoffman would use a stock blank with a faulty grain flow through the pistol grip. Was that a factor?

Bill

I really don't know how that break happened but the grain layout was fine. One of the more bizarre stock breaks I have encountered.

Wow! For an unengraved gun?! That’s not a whole lot less than I would have expected that gun to bring without a badly broken stock.

It must have been around 1990 I answered an ad in Shotgun News for a batch of Arms and the Man magazines. The mailing address on them was for L.E. Wilson in Cashmere, WA. I also got all of the American Rifleman 1929-1940 from this (his) estate. The AATM were from 1917-1922. All this stuff has been a godsend for the past thirty years.
