I need a stock for a double barrelled, 12 ga, hammerless, shotgun. It has American Gun Co. on the right side and Knickerbocker on the left side.

Thanks, Old Man

Try Gun Parts Corp. These were not top grade shotguns, more like a notch or two above pure junk. But, they can be made to shoot, and if an heirloom worth preserving.

If you decide to shoot it, have a smith you'd trust your life to go over it first.

Dave - Thanks - My son picked up the shotgun at a gun show for almost nothing without a stock and only wants to have a complete gun. I will tell him not to try to shoot it.

Many thanks, Old Man

You're welcome. As for this, it may be perfectly safe with the lighter loads, but only a decent smith can tell.

And, these old doubles that are shooters are loads of fun. It's well worth the few bucks for peace of mind.
