Dr Bill...I may try a repair. I viewed some of the repair techniques shown on this site and I was very impressed. You probably saw the response by the fellow that bought the stock at e-bay. Is there any way to confirm what model the stock will fit. I compared the pictures on e-bay to my stock and it looks real close but a couple things don't look quite right. Dennis's stock has a little more curve at the top of the grip and it looks like there is a greater distance from the bottom end of the trigger guard to the black grip cap. Sounds like life is throwing you some curves. Hang in there one day at a time. It will be better soon.
