[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1164483, member: 2736"] I know this doesn't help, But this was a bad stock to start with. The grain should run parallel with the barrel channel for strength and only change direction as it passes through the pistol grip (Hopefully turning slightly downward to go straight through the pistol grip). After that it can swirl or do all sorts of things for looks without weakening the stock. Not sure how you broke it but it was destine to happen with the grain running the way it did. When looking for a stock, always look for the basic grain to run parallel with the barrel and you will be ok. (It can have figure but the straight grain will give it strength. It should be replaced because it will brake again because of the grain direction if miss handled or subject to heavy recoil. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
