Possible, but no way to tell either way. I lack the skills and tools to fabricate a new rod and would not want to spend the money to have it done, to me the gun isn't worth putting any significant money into it. I may try brazing it or getting a friend to weld it.

I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
