I have a 12 ga. LC Smith side-by-side, Serial # H165569. The gun has side locks and is hammerless. I am looking for a stock to fit or be fitted to this gun. The original stock was broken very early in the gun's existence, so the barrel and receiver are in excellent shape. Can anyone give me help with this matter or point me in the right direction, where I could obtain a stock?

Do you still have the original stock? Some of the repairs that can be made nowdays border on the miraculous. Restocking is a very expensive undertaking and unless this gun is a family heirloom or a very high grade it probably won't be worth the expense. Jim

Hello Dennis, If you want to shoot this L C Smith then you are going to need more that just a butt stock, you will need a butt stock that FITS YOU YOURSELF and just about nobody else. You will need to get your shotgun butt stock measurements accurately calculated and then have a butt stock built to those dimensions. This usually takes about 14 months to 24 months to have done correctly. Half of that time is just waiting for your turn to come up at the stockmakers. If you come to THE VINTAGE CUP 2008 in Easton, Maryland you can see various butt stocks in various stages of completion and you can get YOUR MEASUREMENTS taken off of a TRY GUN. Good Shooting To You, Jent --- jentpmitchell@msn.com

i would ask you how handy you are and how big of a hurry? If you think you can shoot a factory original stock there was a previous offer ahead of this. Should you think you can fit and install a new stock - call Show-Me Gunstocks in Mo. They are the old Fajen Gunstock people and have most any pattern you can imagine and they are great to work with.

Bob.... You asked 'who does those kinds of repairs that are miraculous? An acquaintenance of mine was the founder of one of the recognized New England based specialty gun shops, and he gave me a guided tour through his stock repairing facility. You may be surprised to know that his company uses 'bondo' to repair badly broken stocks. Bondo is a polyester resin product that when mixed with a hardener (an organic peroxide), or catalyst, turns into a putty which then sets and becomes rock-hard. The user can apply the mixed Bondo, sand it to the proper shape, and prime and paint it like the material around it.

Hi. Just read your thread after my Ellsie stock broke. This gun was my father's since 1929 (he paid $20 for it), and I had it restored in 95 by a guy in Illionis whose name I can't recall (should've had it done by Doug Turnbull since his wife and my brother's wife are best friends an' all). Anyway, when I had the gun restored and the stock extension my father used taken off, I discovered that the gun and I are "one." When it comes to clays, I can't hit a bull in the butt with it, but because of the instinctive nature of side-by-sides (Yes, I am a true believer in that), I am just plain deadly on real birds with it. So naturally, I'm not willing to give up on it yet. I've owned really expensive side-by-sides before, but nothing works in the field for me like this old Ellsie. The only thing I would want in its place would be another just like it! Okay. Enough of the jabbering. Is there a way to tell if your stock would fit my 1920-ish, very field grade, Hunter Arms Ellsie? If it's a match, and you haven't sold it yet, I'd really be interested. Thanks. Ed Lowery Phoenix
