Part one:
I was asked to save this Mossberg 146B-A stock.
Well, those that know me, know I like to fix the stocks that most say can't be fixed.
Lets look at some of the shame that was bestowed upon this poor thing.
First off the stock was refinished with paint used on metal doors to simulated the look of wood. Oh! This is a Walnut stock. :roll:
Later in life it got broken and glued back together.
It appeares that it was broken a 2nd time and that is when Manny the Handyman used nails to put it back together. :doh:
You can see that there is some wood missing from the inside of the grip.
I guess that Manny the Handyman didn't have the right size nails.
So he just bent the ends over so that he would not get poked in the hand.
Don't ask me, I wasnt there when this piece came off. Who ever had it at this time must not of had any glue or nales. :?
Now for the fixing part.
First I pulled out all the nails. Well I did miss one that was in the wrist. I found it and pulled it out after I took this pic.
I then got pertty busy with the stock and some others and forgot to take some pics while I was removing what was left of the glue and putting the stock back together. The paint on the stock was a pain to strip off, but in the end I found that the stock was pertty nice looking.
